Educational tastings are given by Harrison,Tate's sister company Better Tasting. The courses are modelled on the world-renowned Universite de Bordeaux wine making & tasting degree courses and the Diplôme Universitaire de l’Aptitude de la Dégustation des Vins, and are suitable for both interested amateurs and wine trade professionals (Richard More has lectured on wine making at the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, the Wine Trade's educational body).
Richard took his Wine Making and Tasting Degree
at Bordeaux University, and before coming to England was Chief wine maker
for Sandemans in Oporto.
Better Tasting
was the first wine education organisation to give this level of specialised
wine tasting education in the UK.
The course covers:
The wine makers' objectives - the quest for quality
Wine constituents - understanding the key components of wine
Tasting anatomy & physiology
Assessing your own palate - true tastes and mouth feel
Recognising faults in wine
Assessing your own olfactory perception
