Happy Deviations - Wine Course

Happy Deviations - Wine Course

Presented by Wine Faults Academy & Enotéka Wild Wines

Join this thought provoking, interactive and fun wine course that will help you better understand the world of natural wines.

We will learn about vinification and production methods and taste the most common styles of natural wines: macerated/orange, unfiltered, cloudy and Pet-nats.

We will explore the differences between organic and biodynamic wines, that often in German they become one word “Bio.”

You will taste, identify and experience the boundaries between enjoyable (happy!) imperfections and clear wine faults:

• Are wines smelling like balsamic vinegar always faulty?
• Am I smelling nuts and almonds but not fruit character, is this right?
• What are funky wines, a taste or a smell?

We will taste and discuss in detail the most common wine faults associated with low intervention wines: Volatile Acidity, Oxidation and the most talked about of them all “Mousiness”.

Price: CHF 146 per person. (Group max of 12w attendees.)

• 3 hours guided course by WSET Certified Educator and two Dipl.WSET professionals.
