"food and wine courses" news and stories

The London based Wine and Spirit Education Trust is well known for its professional courses - taken mainly by those 'in the trade'. They have just announced two dates for the wine enthusiast, a session on matching wine and food.

Held at their base at the London Wine School, 39-45 Bermondsey Street, London the workshop is for fun only and doesn't involve any examinations. The wine and food workshop opens with an explanation of the principles of matching foods and wines together and which combinations work and which don't. This is followed by a practical session tasting examples of various food components; acidity, protein, spice, smokiness and sweetness; and finding out how in practice they react with various wines.

Cost is £50 for a two hour session. Dates are 26th September and the 28th November.
