Course Content

01 — Taste Like You Mean It
Learn how to taste wine with purpose, identify the structural elements that shape a wine, and describe what’s in the glass with confidence. This section focuses on practical tasting skills you can use on the floor—not memorized tasting-note jargon.

  • How to Taste Wine
  • Sight, Aroma & Structure
  • The Five Things That Matter Most

02 — Acid, Tannin, Body & Booze
For the topic summary, use: Learn how the major structural elements of wine shape style, food pairing, and guest preference. This section turns technical wine language into practical service language.

03 — Old World / New World
Understand what “Old World” and “New World” really mean—and where those terms fall short. Learn how geography, climate, tradition, grape growing, and winemaking can influence style, then translate those differences into language that actually helps a guest choose a wine.

04 — Know Your Grapes
Learn the major grape varieties guests ask for most often, what they typically taste like, how climate and winemaking change their style, and how to turn that knowledge into better recommendations at the table.

05 — Know Your Map
Learn the major wine regions that come up most often in service, what makes them distinct, and how place helps predict style. The goal is not to memorize every appellation—it is to build a mental map you can actually use with guests.

06 — Read the Guest
Learn how to listen for what a guest actually wants, translate vague preferences into useful wine language, and make confident recommendations without turning the conversation into an interrogation.

07 — Service Like a Pro
Build the practical wine-service skills that create confidence at the table: presentation, opening, pouring, glassware, temperature, decanting, and handling bottles with care. The goal is polished service without unnecessary theater.

08 — Final Pour
Bring everything together: tasting, structure, grapes, regions, guest preferences, pairing, and polished wine service. This final section is designed to reinforce the skills that matter most on the floor and prepare you for the course assessment.
