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.

Essential
  • No wine, equipment, printing or advance reading is required. The narrator explains the technical documents during the lesson.
Optional after-class fieldwork
  • After class, steep equal tea portions for two controlled intervals, cool them equally, and compare bitterness and grip. Do not claim you reproduced wine tannin. Use the exercise to feel why contact time changes what liquid carries.
Alcohol-free participation
  • The complete lesson and quiz can be followed without alcohol.

Documents discussed in this lesson

Technical sheets and source material

Use the named wine, vintage and document section. Producer process accounts and research guidance are labeled separately from vintage technical sheets. A disclosed choice is evidence of a process, not a guaranteed flavour.
