This course is an overview of the major winemaking regions across Europe beyond France, including Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany, amongst others. Students will develop the sensory skills and vocabulary to describe wines through guided tastings. Lectures will focus on grape varieties, climatic considerations, vineyard and winemaking practices, and key laws governing wine production and labeling.
