"As an introduction it is very good, very thorough. And the material is very well written and narrated. I felt that I learned a lot in a relatively short amount of time. The course doesn't cover champagne and other sparkling wines in much detail, the great wine regions are not covered in any detail and the wines that individual countries are famous for producing are not covered, so that's why I haven't given the course a full five stars. But, again, this course is just an introduction to wine. No doubt there are far more comprehensive courses out there but if you know almost nothing about wine, this is a good place to start - you'll learn some very useful terminology, plus the names of the major grape varieties and the wines that they produce. All in all, a very good course."
