Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject builds on the knowledge of wine tasting developed in Wine Evaluation I and the knowledge of Australian grape varieties and styles developed during the course. You will gain theoretical and technical knowledge of different wine styles. The practical aim of the subject is to provide you with hands-on experience in tasting international wine styles so that they can identify, by taste, several major regional wine styles and identify major wine- making practices. To this end the subject will include an overview of Old and New World wine-making regions, an analysis of production practices and an examination of major international wine styles. In addition, the subject will include some discussion of the relationship between culture and wine preferences.
