A complete wine course on video
WineMasters Class covers the wine world region by region: from the classic regions of Europe to the New World and the new frontiers of wine. It covers the regions and topics of WSET Level 3, so it helps you prepare for your WSET exams, and it is just as enjoyable for wine lovers who simply want to understand what is in their glass.
Every episode explains a region, its grapes and its styles, shows a wine experiment that makes a technical subject visible, and ends with food pairings and blind tastings, all explained.
