Course Four: Sparkling and Fortified Wine

Sparkling wines are not just for celebrating and fortified wines should be enjoyed all year long. In this course students will learn why sparkling wine sparkles and how Champagne is different from other sparkling wines, as well as how to safely open a bottle of sparkling wine. This session will also introduce fortified wine, and we will discuss the different styles of Port, Sherry and Madeira produced. The seminar finishes with a tasting of sparkling and fortified wine in a variety of styles.
