CAPS - Atlantic

Ancient World / Old World Wine Regions Winter 2025

This module explores the major wine regions of the ancient and old world including: Georgia, Armenia, China, Turkey, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary. In sensory evaluation, students study wines by weight and flavour. In this section students will assess wines according to where they are produced and are expected to recognize, by region, the character and quality of the major wine regions, learning the history, terroir, laws, culture, leading producer and trends. Special attention is given to France and Italy since they share the largest part of the wine market in the world today. Students continue to develop tasting ability and wine assessment skills. In addition, special attention is paid to learning local cuisine and classic pairings.

The Sensory Development & Wine Styles module is a prerequisite for this module
