What this is
Wine & Coffee Tasting Basics teaches a simple, shared tasting method you can apply to both drinks. You learn how aroma and taste work, how grapes, regions, coffee origins and processing shape flavour, how to brew coffee well at home and how to describe what you notice without jargon or snobbery.
The course focuses on developing your own palate rather than memorising rules. Each lesson ends with a short tasting exercise. Wine lessons are for adults of legal drinking age only, and every wine exercise can be done with small samples, spitting or alcohol-free alternatives.
