Beginner wine classes have so many benefits and are a great introduction into the fascinating world of fine wine. There are so many reasons we believe everyone should take a beginner wine class, even if you don’t plan to make a career in the wine industry, so we’re going to share a few of those reasons here today.

  1. To increase your general knowledge of fine wines
    There are so many interesting things you can learn about wine, from the different types and styles of wine to the grapes, regions, and countries where they’re grown and so much more. You’ll never be lacking for more information and fun facts when you begin learning about fine wines and increasing your general knowledge in this industry. And the more you learn, the more fun facts you will have to share with friends and family at holiday parties and social gatherings. It makes you a more interesting person while also creating conversation at any event.
  2. To discover more wines you enjoy
    Another great benefit of taking a beginner wine class is learning and discovering more wines you enjoy. You get to learn about wines from other countries and regions, and as you learn more about the different types of fine wines, you’re also increasing your options of wines you know you love. This is valuable in so many areas of life, like special work events, fancy dinner dates, social events, holiday parties, and more. Instead of ordering something you aren’t sure of, you can be confident in your choice because you’ve already learned and sampled other types of wines after growing your knowledge of fine wines in class.
  3. To learn something new
    Once we’re out of high school and college, we often don’t take time to sit and learn new things because life gets in the way. Between work, social life, home projects, dating, kids, and the list goes on, it can be difficult to find the time to learn and grow in new areas of life. Taking an online beginner wine class can be fun, help you destress from life for a bit, and help you learn something new. Continuing to learn and grow is what keeps us interesting as humans and helps us make new friends as we find more areas we have in common with other people we meet. And who knows? Maybe as you begin learning more and more about fine wines, you’ll find a new passion and calling to change your career. Life is full of fun surprises, and we should always be trying to increase our knowledge and learn new things.
  4. To do something fun with friends
    A beginner wine class is a great idea to do with friends. You’ll each discover new information and fun facts together while also learning what wines you love or don’t love. It’s a unique way to make memories together and try something new. As kids, we always wanted to be in the same classes as our friends because it made the class more fun. We’re all the same as adults. We want to have others we can share experiences with and talk about what happened and what we learned with those who experienced the same things with us. And bonus, as you learn and discover new wines, you can do lots of wine tastings together and know information about the regions, grapes, and countries of the wines you’re trying. It’s a win/win for everyone and a unique way to make memories together and have fun learning something new.
  5. To make new friends
    Whether you choose to take an online class or in-person class, our beginner wine classes are a fun way to make new friends. You already have a common interest since you’re both taking the same class, so you already have something to talk about. We have had many people take our classes in the past who decide to meet up for wine tastings outside of class, and end up finding out they have other things in common. As adults, it can be hard to find time to make new friends, especially if you’re in a new city or if you’ve just moved. Thankfully we live in a day and age where so many people make friends online that don’t even live near them, but you can find friendships anywhere in the world at the click of a button. And if you’re in the DC area and are hoping to make friends nearby, taking an in-person beginner wine class is a great way to do so. Who knows? One class may change your life.

The beauty of beginner wine classes is that anyone can take them. There’s no requirement or prerequisite for taking the class. It’s just a fun way to start learning more about the incredible world of fine wines with other people who share the same interest.
