Virtual Wine School

Berry Bros. & Rudd has launched a `Virtual Wine School' series. 

The innovative series of six video `podcasks' are presented by Rebecca Lamont, head of the famous Berrys' Wine School, and are a great way for wine enthusiasts to increase their understanding and appreciation of wine. Berrys' `Virtual Wine Schools' are the perfect first steps for any wine lover keen to become a real pro. 

Each of the six `Virtual Wine Schools' is bursting with valuable and exciting tasting techniques, food and wine matching tips and serving advice.  You can explore a variety of grapes from the grassy Sauvignon Blanc to the full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and learn about different storing, aging and growing techniques that contribute toward wines' wonderfully explosive flavours. 

Episode 1 - Rebecca Lamont introduces the basics of wine-tasting.
