This course focuses on the production of wine from grapes, although many of the techniques discussed can also be applied to other types of wine. Topics discussed include: harvesting the vintage, processing the grapes, controlling the alcoholic fermentation, red wine production, wine clarification, bottling and wine evaluation. Half of each session is spent doing hands-on practical work in the winery. The course ends with a short multiple choice test and follows on from the Principles of Vinegrowing course, but can also be studied
independently or concurrently.
