Most people have a general understanding or base knowledge of wine, but we often find ourselves wanting to know more about the wine we drink or just wanting to build our general knowledge of wine. This can be for many different reasons. For some, it’s wanting to know more about the culture of each country that the wine is from. For others, it’s wanting to build their general wine knowledge. And for others, it’s an interest in becoming a professional sommelier. No matter what your reasoning for wanting to know about the magnificent liquid we call wine, there are a variety of ways for everyone to learn and grow their wine knowledge in a fun and educational way.
Online Classes
One of the easiest ways to learn more about wine is online classes. You can take the wine classes at your own pace, around your schedule. You can take a few introductory classes to broaden your general overall knowledge of wine or take a full load of classes to work towards different levels of certifications. Either way, online wine classes can be a great way to learn more about wine in the comfort of your own home while maintaining your normal schedule.
In-person Classes
A fun way to spend the evening with friends or family are in-person wine classes. You can grow your knowledge of wine while having fun learning all about where each bottle is from and the differences in taste and texture. Plus, who doesn’t love sampling great wine with people they know? You can learn how to pair the wine with food properly, the history of wine, and so much more. In-person classes are great for an evening out learning and having fun all at the same time.
Wine Events
Private wine events and corporate wine events are fun ways to bring groups of people together. You can have themed events or just a general wine tasting, but there is nothing better than building camaraderie and teamwork through a professional wine tasting. It creates a more relaxed atmosphere and allows people to open up and learn from each other. Private and corporate wine events are great ways to build friendships and memories with coworkers, friends, and family alike.
Personal Experiences
Nothing beats personal experience in any area of life, but especially when it comes to wine. Traveling, visiting local restaurants, asking questions, and doing your own wine tastings at home are all great ways to learn more about wine while having new experiences and adventures. You can have personal wine tastings with friends, have a special date night with your significant other with lots of different wines from a nice restaurant or travel somewhere new and ask about their favorite wines and why. Growing your wine knowledge can be a lot of fun and a great way to make memories and explore somewhere new while you are at it.
Job Experience
Another way to build your knowledge about wine quickly with real-life experience is with a job that serves a variety of wines. Learning about which wines should be paired with which foods, which wines most guests prefer and do not prefer are great tools for real experience and growing your wine knowledge, especially if you are working towards becoming a sommelier. Experience at a job where you can observe more than just your classmates and your own tastes and preferences will help build your knowledge of wine and help you in the long run.
Expanding and growing your knowledge of wine can be both fun and educational. No matter if your reasons are personal or professional, wine has so much to offer each person individually. It is an experience for everyone and is such a great way to bring people together and make memories. For centuries, wine has been part of celebrations, mournings, new experiences, travel, new beginnings, and new memories. Wine brings people together from all over the world like nothing else can. The taste, smell, texture, and history are all vital pieces in truly enjoying and appreciating everything there is to know about wine and its incredible flavor and history.
