The Smart Drinker’s Guide to Supermarket Wine

About this event

Have you ever stood in front of the supermarket’s wall of wine feeling overwhelmed by choice, unsure where to begin, what you’ll enjoy, or whether you’re getting real value for money?

You’re not alone. And that’s where Master of Wine, author and wine educator Sam Caporn MW, better known as the Mistress of Wine, comes in.

In this engaging and informative online session, Sam will demystify the world of wine and give you the confidence to choose, taste and enjoy wine with far greater understanding. Drawing on her deep expertise and passion for making wine approachable, she will guide you through:

• What the wine label really means and which details actually matter when choosing a bottle

• Why wine tastes the way that it does, and how grape variety, climate and winemaking influence what’s in the glass

• How to vary your wine choices throughout the year so they pair more naturally with seasonal foods, from spring through to winter

• An introduction to The Wine Flavour Tree, Sam’s unique visual infographic that helps you map grape varieties to flavour profiles and better predict what you’ll enjoy

• The difference between regional and varietal labelling, and how this knowledge can help you shop smarter

• The four step wine tasting process, a simple and practical framework to help you taste wine more confidently and express what you like and why

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your appreciation, this is a session not to be missed. Sam will take you on a journey from grape to glass, empowering you to move from wine novice to confident, informed drinker, all from the comfort of your own home.
