What’s in the HelenaSips Wine Course?
This Wine Course is made up of 6 Modules plus an extra lesson on food and wine pairing. As a ‘subscribed sipper’, you’ll also get extra recommendations and perks and through your newsletters, such as discounts on wine gadgets and wine hotel stays.
I put this course together after running wine tastings for real people like you and understanding that actually, if you’re not sitting an industry exam in it, the best way to start is with the fun bit - getting to know the personalities of the world’s most famous grapes - and then the rest of the geeky stuff will make so much more sense!
Here’s an overview of what you’ll learn:
Module 1: The Basics
Lesson 1: 4 Steps to wine knowledge nirvana: where to start with wine
Lesson 2: How to speak wine language
Lesson 3: What to look for when you taste wine
Module 2: The personalities of 15 key white and 15 key red grapes
Module 3: The world’s most famous wine blends
Module 4: Sparkling wine styles
Module 5: Sweet & fortified wine styles
Module 6: Wine FAQ
Extra Lesson: 6 Steps to food & wine pairing nirvana
Why this course is different
I am a wine professional with 25 years of experience as a commercial wine buyer, educator, international competition judge and events presenter so my knowledge is serious, but I come at it all with a light touch. This is why you’ll find me personifying grape varieties in bad dress up with specific characters and colours - because learning visually works better for many people than learning dry facts.
