About this event

This is a highly respected, detailed accreditation covering all the major French wine regions. It is officially recognised as a marque of excellence by the French government. Learn more about French wine than you ever thought possible. If you pass this course you can use the letters FWS after your name which is great for your career prospects or just to prove your expertise in French wine. Make better wine-purchasing decisions. Digital certificate and right to FWS post nominals. A gorgeous, 270 page full-colour study manual. One year’s access to the Wine Scholar Guild’s online e-learning resources. This contains quizzes, tests, and games to help you revise. This course will get you access to the most exclusive wines France has to offer so you’ll taste wines which few in the world even know exist. You get to focus on enjoying the wines, without worrying about using specific terms – In fact you will taste over 40, including some rare and unusual ones from regions not covered by WSET Levels 1-3 Wines like the Jura/Savoie & Corsica. We are the only provider of this course in the North West, and we only run this course once a year for a very limited number of people. So book your seat now so you don’t miss out! For each region, you will learn about: Viticultural history, wine culture and traditions; Location and climate and their effects on viticulture and wine style; Topography, geography and soils and their impact on the vine; Grape varieties and their organoleptic profiles; Viticulture and winemaking practices; Wine industry trends and economics; All AOCs with their regulations, wine styles and specificities. The study manual also contains a Foundation Unit that covers French wine law, grape varieties, viticulture, viniculture and a discussion of Old World vs. New World wine styles.
