“I thoroughly enjoyed the (Wine School of Excellence) course, and was delighted by the friendly and informative way the course was delivered. I am not in the wine trade, and as an enthusiast the intention was to learn how to identify wines to enjoy from the label and variety, and not guessing or judging by price.
I can now distinguish wines by type, region, and grape variety. I understand the label and can distinguish between merely descriptive and meaningful precise regulated terms. I can visit the wine merchant or supermarket with specific intentions of what I am looking for, and recognise good value whatever the price!
The tasting part of the course was a revelation, and the systematic approach to wine tasting means that I can identify the characteristics of a wine and can look for, and evaluate the flavours of the wine and shop for the flavours I enjoy.
I would
recommend this course to any enthusiast of wines (and spirits). The satisfaction of not only learning about a
fascinating subject, but also gaining a recognised qualification is brilliant!
Anyone daunted by study or intimidated by an exam should understand that your (Wine School of Excellence) course is supportive and delivered in a practical and friendly manner with the aim of success through a positive learning experience”.

"I undertook the intermediate level wine course in November last year and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It taught me a good level of general knowledge about wine while focusing on the main grape varieties and regions. The wine to food matching was most informative. Gill clearly had a wide knowledge and expertise on the subject, but delivered the course in an easy and relaxed way, that helped with retaining the information. I look forward to Level 3".
