Imagine that you\u2019re sat in a restaurant right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re perusing the wine list and seeing all of these Italian wines<\/a> that you know little to nothing about. Unsure of what to pick and whether it will suit your tastes, you hem and haw until it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant\u2019s wine expert comes over and explains the qualities of each wine to you. By the end, you\u2019ve made your selection and have a wine that you\u2019re truly in love with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a wonderful feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what may be even more wonderful is if you could achieve that result on your own. Instead of relying on others to guide you towards wines that you may like, you could develop your own understanding of Italian wine and what each variety has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s just one question\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you need to do to develop your expertise in wine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just do what you\u2019ve done for most of the other things that you\u2019ve learned in your life \u2013 take a course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many courses that teach you the ins and outs of wine that it\u2019s hard to choose the one that\u2019s right for you. But in this article, we\u2019re going to highlight a few that will leave you feeling like a master sommelier by the time that you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course #1 – Jancis Robinson\u2019s Udemy Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who don\u2019t know, Jancis Robinson is a British wine critic and expert who\u2019s achieved a high level of renown in her home country. In fact, she\u2019s the creator of the Purple Book<\/em> wine manuals, which many look to as key books for the global wine industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she\u2019s created a course on Udemy for anybody who wants to get inside the mind of a true wine professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the course on Udemy and it costs about \u20ac150. In return, you get insight from one of the most talented and educated wine aficionados in the entire world. The course teaches you what to look for in a wine menu and helps you to understand how to read a wine label to ensure you always get a wine that suits your tastes. The course even covers the basics of pairing wines with different types of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, this is one of the most accessible courses on the list. Though she\u2019s a distinguished expert, Jancis does everything that she can to make the course as accessible as possible to people of all levels. By the end, you\u2019ll have a strong foundation of wine knowledge that you can build on with some of the other courses in this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course #2 – WSET Awards and Diploma in Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available at various levels of knowledge and expertise, this collection of courses can take you from complete wine novice through to experienced and knowledgeable connoisseur in no time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), which was founded in 1969 to help people like you develop a greater understanding of their favourite beverages, the courses offer a respected accreditation that most within the wine industry recognise. They\u2019re also available in 72 languages, with many of them also being available online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WSET currently features about 800 courses on its website, which are split into 4 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 1 courses cover the beginner\u2019s end of the spectrum. Once you advance past those, the Level 2 courses provide more detailed introductions into various aspects of wine, with the Level 3 courses taking a much sharper focus that veers more into the professional side of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Level 4, the courses start preparing you for WSET\u2019s Master of Wine Program. And if you\u2019re able to earn that, you have everything that you need to become a professional in the Italian wine industry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WSET doesn\u2019t just stop at wine either. If you really want to get into the weeds when it comes to alcohol, it offers a host of courses for various spirits, as well as courses dedicated to the Japanese rice wine sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course #3 – Wine: Everything You Want to Know, Taught by a Winemaker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re back to Udemy for another great course that can teach you an awful lot. And unlike the other courses on this list, this one\u2019s completely free. On top of that, it\u2019s created by a man who\u2019s worked in the industry his entire life as a winemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course focuses as much on the history of wine as it does on helping you to pick out specific vintages. You\u2019ll learn about the growth of the global industry, what winemakers need to do to get their wines to you, and the various ways that they prepare their wines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019ll also learn some more practical stuff. The course covers how to pair wines with food as well as how to buy wines that suit specific tastes. It even offers some advice on where you can buy those wines and the differences between each country\u2019s production methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t face any time limit as the course is entirely self-managed. Better yet, signing up gives you lifetime access to all of the materials, in addition to the ability to access them via your computer or mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the ideal course if you\u2019re looking for something that you can do online, at your own pace, and within a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the world wide web has opened up educational opportunities that people didn\u2019t have access to just a few short decades ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe now is the time to take advantage of that fact!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any of the courses that we\u2019ve listed here can serve as a great starting point for the budding wine expert. You\u2019ll learn everything that you need to know when it comes to the basics. And in many cases, you can move up the levels until you become a true expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what should you do once you\u2019ve developed your expertise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
