Introduction
There are lots of books on how to make wine, which give you a good start, but they don’t always help you in working out where you went wrong, when the wine doesn’t come out as well as you had hoped. The best way to learn is in the company of others, at all levels of experience, so that you can compare notes (and share your wine) to the benefit of all. By doing this you will also get more enjoyment from the hobby.

Aims
These classes were aimed not only at beginners, but also at those who wish to broaden their interest and develop their skills, either for their own enjoyment or competitively. They will help you not only with your wine making practices, but also to objectively assess your own wines, blend where necessary and develop your own recipes. If you wish to enter wines in shows, it will help you to understand what judges are looking for and to enter your wines in the right class(es).
