No shopping or worksheets required
The lesson explains the winery decisions and technical documents as you watch. These references are here to revisit, not homework you must finish first.
- After class, inspect bottles you already own. Note closure type, fill level, seepage, light exposure, and storage temperature history. Do not open anything. Decide which bottle has the clearest future and which has the greatest uncertainty.
- The complete lesson and quiz can be followed without alcohol.
