Wine Basics Explained

Is it full bodied?    Have you let it breath?      Is it dry or sweet?

These are important questions you should be asking about your wine. After taking this workshop you'll know all about wine varieties, wine regions and the all too common faults in wine and how to test for them. During the hour you'll also have the opportunity to do a wine tasting from home and dissect the flavours. Gone are the days of choosing a bottle purely its label, there is so much more to know!
