Most of us have been home more this year than we ever have before in our lives. From binge watching our favorite TV shows to organizing everything in the house to cooking big meals just because we can, there are a lot of things we have done or can do during this time. But at some point, you have watched all the shows, there is nothing left to organize, and big meals are not fun anymore because you are tired of all the dishes it creates. With so much time still spent at home, wouldn’t it be nice if you could learn something new that you would enjoy and that you’ve never tried before?  Something you could try that would be both fun and educational, and that you could use the rest of your life? We have got just the answer for you: online wine classes! We know; we know. That may not be the first thing you thought of, but hear us out. We’ll explain more below.

A Few Reasons Online Wine Classes Are a Great Idea

You could use this extra time at home to learn all about wine and increase your knowledge of fine wines. Imagine going out with friends or family in the future and being able to suggest a nice wine for everyone to try that evening. Or while out shopping, picking out a nice bottle of wine for a special occasion and knowing a little about the region it’s from or knowing it will pair well with the meal you have planned. How much fun would it be to learn something new and unique at home that you could share with others when you see them in person again? Plus, it’s a safe way to stay home and use the time you have for something different and beneficial.

Another great reason to take a wine class online would be to start a new hobby or side job. By learning more about wine and taking a certified class, you could begin your journey of becoming a knowledgeable server or sommelier. Using the extra time you have at home could help you make more money through being able to offer great recommendations to guests who come to your restaurant or you could use this time to slowly change careers and work to become a sommelier. Using this time to have a fun, educational experience could be just what you have been looking for but never had time to do. When better to start this than today?

Even if you are an experienced wine taster and aren’t looking to make a career of wine, there is always more to learn about wine that an online wine class could teach you. Plus, you could make new friends who are also wine enthusiasts. Now more than ever, staying connected through friendships and making new friends is so important. And in 2020, we have the ability to do just that through modern technology. Taking an online course to increase your wine knowledge could be beneficial mentally, physically, and emotionally. So what are you waiting for?

Online Wine Classes and Courses

Online wine classes are great because you can choose whether to take the classes at your own pace on your own schedule or take them with others at a designated time. This means whether you are trying to work around your work schedule or just prefer mornings to evenings, you are free to take the classes whenever works best for you. If you are not sure which level wine classes would be best for your current knowledge of wine, we have a brief description of our available class levels below.

  • Beginner Classes – Beginner classes are designed to introduce different types of and styles of wine. The main goal is to learn about the grapes, regions, and countries each wine is from. This class level is best for any level wine enthusiast and requires no previous wine knowledge.
  • Intermediate Classes – The intermediate classes are designed to help students better understand the differences in fine wines through vineyard locations, grape growing, and winemaking. While these classes can be taken by anyone, they are best for those truly interested in learning about wine and growing their knowledge to the next level.
  • Advanced Classes – The advanced classes are more challenging than the beginner and intermediate courses and are designed for experienced wine tasters, wine buyers, and those who are preparing for wine exams, such as the WSET Diploma, Master Sommelier or Master of Wine.
