ONLINE TASTING: World of Wine - Sparkling & Sweet Wine

PLEASE NOTE: If you book after 12pm on April 11th, tasting kits are not guaranteed to arrive before the live tasting. They will be posted out as soon as possible. As a reminder, anyone registered for this tasting will also have access to the tasting recording (from the next working day), so if you are worried about not receiving your kit in time, rest assured you will be able to watch the recording at any time that is convenient for you.

Part One: Champagne & Sparkling Wines

Here we shall look at the various types of sparkling wine produced from two major methods (the traditional and tank methods) and match them with simple food. Of course we’ll taste Champagne. In addition we find very decent and affordable fizz in the new world which is extremely worth factoring in as a comparison. Tank method sparklers such as the ever-popular Prosecco - is worth investigating.

Part Two: Sweet Wines

Dessert wines are created from a myriad of various methods ultimately producing a complex range of styles. We’ll learn about the classic noble-rot style with plenty of examples to select from such as Sauternes, Chaume and the Hungarian regal classic, Tokaji. In addition we'll taste the full-bodied Port style and to cap it all off the ultra-sweet Sherry, Pedro-Ximenez.
