Super Helpful!
This class was a were a super helpful refresher for me! The biodynamic and fortified wine sections were a good source of info as we didn't cover those topics in the WSET 2 course.
It was an excellent, easy to follow educational format, great for people working in a liquor store, or just anyone in general. I appreciated getting more interesting details on several items, such as Tasting Wine & where flavor comes from, Sustainability, Natural Wines, Wine Faults & Flaws. All were important topics that I felt I knew too little about before your courses. You're a great teacher
Style
Several styles of wine: Still, Sparkling, Fortified. These styles are made from red or white grape varieties.
Variety
Around 5000 Vitis Vinifera varieties in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay represent only 3 of them! Vitis Vinifera is the species that produces fine wine in the world.
Country
Wine is made all over the world, in many countries in both New and Old World countries. The vine species that most wine sold in the world is made from is Vitis Vinifera, which originates from Far Eastern Europe. That is why Europe is considered Old World. All the other grape growing countries had to transport Vitis Vinifera to them once they were colonized. These countries are referred to as New World.
Vintage
Vintage is the year of the harvest.Climate and various weather incidents such as frost, hail or excessive heat or natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes, landslides can impact the growing conditions and therefore the resulting wine from the year it was harvested.
Region
