Choose your preparation track

You do not need to buy every comparison wine. Choose the track that matches your time, budget, and interest.

Essential
  • Buying or drinking wine is optional. Begin with the map, named labels and worked examples in the lesson.
  • Have water, a notebook and the linked producer documents available. Match the wine and document edition before applying its numbers.
Optional comparison
  • If tasting, use small pours, water, breaks and a spit cup. Keep the names beside the glasses and a little of your first wine for the revisit.
  • A — Dr. Loosen Blauschiefer trocken. Mosel · Riesling. Document: 2025 listing. Dry Mosel reference; select exact product image. Preserve this origin and teaching role; verify the replacement edition and revise dependent commentary. Otherwise use the no-wine dossier.
  • B — Leitz EINS-ZWEI-DRY. Rheingau · Riesling. Document: 2025. Dry Rheingau reference. Preserve this origin and teaching role; verify the replacement edition and revise dependent commentary. Otherwise use the no-wine dossier.
  • C — Reichsrat von Buhl Riesling trocken. Pfalz · Riesling. Document: 2025. Dry Pfalz reference. Preserve this origin and teaching role; verify the replacement edition and revise dependent commentary. Otherwise use the no-wine dossier.
  • D — Salwey Kaiserstuhl Spätburgunder. Baden / Kaiserstuhl · Spätburgunder. Document: 2023 listing. Pinot Noir regional reference; label and listed edition. Preserve this origin and teaching role; verify the replacement edition and revise dependent commentary. Otherwise use the no-wine dossier.
Observe / alcohol-free
  • Follow the maps, labels and producer documents without buying or drinking wine. The video supplies worked explanations.
  • Write down what the evidence establishes, what it suggests, and what remains unknown.

Taste responsibly: small pours, water, food, and spit cups are sensible equipment. Never build transport plans after the bottles are open.
