THE WORLD OF AROMAS To the top |
 Well-known varieties of grapes from the world’s prominent wine producing regions. We’ll be talking generally about the differences between different varieties and regions.
We’ll also be discussing the ideal conditions in which to keep wines and how to serve wines correctly. Everyone can influence the taste of wine, we’ll be telling you how in this lecture. Wine is a foodstuff, which can be spoilt for a variety of reasons. We’ll also be dealing with the reasons for faults in wines.We recommend you choose either white or red wines.

TASTING WITH RIEDEL GLASSES To the top |
The glass does make a difference. In this tasting each wine is served from a different Riedel glass. Georg Riedel of Austria is the world’s superlative maker of wine glasses, with some 200 different glasses in production. Each glass is intended specifically for a particular wine. We’ll study whether the glass affects the taste of the wine. We think you’ll be surprised! Whilst the wines are interesting in themselves, this time the focus is on wine glasses.

The finest sparkling wine in the world comes from the Champagne region in North France. We’ll sample this most festive of drinks and admire its impressive quality.
