Have you ever wanted to learn
more about your favourite wine? Well now you can, as the Ideal Wine Company has
learned that the University of Burgundy has announced that it’s starting an online
wine course.
Loving wine is a commitment
There’s no such thing as a ‘fair
weather wine lover.’ If you want to call yourself a wine lover you need to
commit yourself to learning everything there is to know about your favourite
tipple.
But there’s so much to know. If
you really want to find out about wine you need to educate yourself about everything
from viticulture to tasting techniques to wine etiquette. With such a heavy
course load, where do you even start? How about the University of Burgundy?
The Open Wine University
According
to Decanter, the institution of higher learning is launching a free online
course called The Open Wine University to teach people about wine making.
The best thing about this is that
it won’t cost you a single penny to enrol; it’s free! Furthermore the course
will be taught in both French and English and is slated to begin on 21st
May. The course will be taught in a range of formats including online seminars,
video-blogs and interactive tastings throughout a five week period.
What’s on the syllabus?
Here at the Ideal Wine Company,
we’re sure that the Open Wine University will receive a lot of interest. This
is because reports suggest that it will have a diverse syllabus, which was
cobbled together by Sandrine Rousseaux and Olivier Jacquet, teachers at the
Jules Guyot Wine and Vine Institute.
Together, these experts have
compiled an intriguing syllabus that not only provides a thorough education
about wine making, but also strives to teach students about Burgundy’s own
diverse terroirs. Subjects slated to be included on the course include
viticulture, tasting techniques and vinification, the history and cultural
importance of wine and understanding terroir.
