• (1)  Familiarisation with the main grape varieties including a
     comparison of wines produced therefrom in different regions of
     the world (e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon from the Czech Republic
     versus Cabernet Sauvignon from France or Argentina)
  

(2)  Introduction to the principal wine regions of France

(3)  Bordeaux versus Burgundy

(4)  Wines of Italy

(5)  Wines of Spain and Portugal

(6)  Wines of Germany and Austria

(7)  Wines of the New World 

At the end of the last session a short written test and a blind tasting will take place.
