Introduction to Wines

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Students will be introduced to the major wine-producing regions of the world.  The course focuses on understanding the terms on a wine label, evaluation techniques, identifying aromas and flavors and connecting flavors to the growing and productions factors that influence them.  Food and wine pairing, wine etiquette and responsible consumption are also topics. This forms the basis for what a consumer needs to know to confidently navigate a wine list and to make sound purchase decisions in retail wine shops or online.

When Offered Fall, spring.

Fees Course fee: $30 (includes cost of wine glasses and supplies).
Permission Note Enrollment limited to: SHA juniors, seniors, and M.M.H. students; seniors and graduate students from all colleges.

Comments Elective. No auditors. All students are exempt from 21-year-old age requirement under Section 65 of New York State law. It is recommended that students do not wait to enroll in this class during their final spring term as space is limited, but rather the fall of their junior or senior year. Preregistered students who do not attend the first class and who fail to notify the course administrator in 249 Statler Hall of their absence before the first class are automatically dropped from instructor's records. Because of high demand for this course and consumption of a product, the absolute drop deadline in fall for all students is F, Sept. 2, 2015, and drop deadline in spring is F, Feb. 3, 2016. If you are unsuccessful in enrolling in the class, please add your name to the waitlist https://sha.cornell.edu/current-students/wines-waitlist.html.
