CALIBRATION TASTINGS AND WINE FAIR
Sunday, 27th September 2020
We will use the WSET Standard Approach to Tasting to calibrate your palate for your studies and exams and explore how you can improve your tasting and analysis. We are very excited about this new offering which will open up the benefits of our approach to a larger group of students.
We will ship 24, 100ml blind samples of a range of wines to you so that you can taste along with us online. These samples can be shipped to the UK, EU and EEA countries.
The Calibration Tastings will take place live on Instagram on 27th September, with recordings available after that.
Participants will be able to put questions during those Tastings too and take part in other sessions around wine and wine study as part of an online Wine Fair.
All the sessions will be recorded and available to anyone who is unable to join the live sessions or prefers to work from a recording. As well as allowing everyone who attended to review the sessions whenever they like.
For a preview, head over to IGTV on the Global Wine Academy’s Instagram for a series of tastings of individual wines.
