What is in the wine kit?Updated 17 days ago

Having the wine kit is convenient but an optional add-on. Wine bottles are 100 ml (about two small tastings) and they are designed to last for 12 months. If you didn’t order the wine kit with your course or you live in a non-shippable state or outside of the US, you can source similar wines for the webinars locally. Here are the regions and styles of wines tasted in the webinars. Please, note there can be minor changes subject to availability.
