You have probably asked yourself why wine has to be so difficult and complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

An aura of mystery\u00a0surrounding certain bottles (being vaguely French is enough and a single bottle will set you back well over \u20ac100) is all well and good but, at times, it is just over the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, it also happens that just when you think you have got a handle on the subject, like, white wine goes with fish and red wine with meat, then some smart-aleck comes along saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, actually, young reds are a perfect match with fish\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Young reds? Whatever …?<\/span><\/p>\n

And this is just the tip of the iceberg; we could go on and on giving you hundreds of examples and anecdotes that you were unaware of and never dared utter in front of other people for fear of saying something really stupid.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here is the bottom line; many people, although fascinated by this world, rich in history and stories, culture, and taste, abandon it because they find it inaccessible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At times, people feel that they do not make the cut; they are not sufficiently motivated to take a sommelier course; they do not have enough time to see it through, or they do not want to spend a lot of money on something that is just a hobby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, so becoming a sommelier is not your secret wish, or perhaps you would like to probe the wine world first before making a commitment to studying it for real.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have we guessed where you are coming from?<\/b><\/p>\n

Good. Because<\/span> VINHOOD Academy<\/b><\/a> has been created for people like you, who are eager to learn, who want to become familiar with and approach the wine world in a laid back way.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here is a fairly priced course, without too many lessons that do not take up too much of your time: it is time to take the leap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>fun-filled sessions <\/b>will provide you with a good general grounding that will help you move confidently around the wine store shelves and avoid those long silences while staring at the restaurant wine list. And you will be looking cool in front of your friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, VINHOOD Academy offers you this and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our aim is to teach you a simple and fun approach to wine and to provide you with the tools and notions that will allow YOU to be fashioners of mind-blowing combinations or discoverers of unusual labels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, because we will teach you to choose according to the #Carattere (#Character) of your palate!<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, that is right, we will give you our tips – it is no coincidence that we are the Taste Experts – but we will also reveal the secrets of the trade that means you, too, will feel a little bit more of an expert.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because we are convinced that this is the best way for you to get the maximum enjoyment from a glass of wine!<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW IS THE VINHOOD ACADEMY SET UP<\/b><\/h2>\n

The digital course is entirely held on the Zoom platform where participants will have face-to-face lessons live with our sommeliers: <\/span>Daniele Sironi, <\/b>Master sommelier<\/span> Alma Ais <\/b>and<\/span> Giuditta Padoan<\/b>, wine expert and Fisar sommelier.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be five sessions of which four dedicated to lessons where one or maximum two bottles of wine will be opened and tasted together each time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final session is given over to a special activity!<\/span><\/p>\n

All course participants will have the option of taking part in a <\/span>WINE QUIZ<\/b>, a compelling and interactive end-of-course game for testing your newly acquired knowledge, and recognizing the best course student.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sommeliers will guide you through wine-themed games during engaging challenge quiz bouts, theatrical improvisations, and many other activities where you will be able to show off your new skills! In short, it is going to be the most fun test you have ever taken.<\/span><\/p>\n
