In addition to theoretical knowledge, students will get to know the basics of responsible wine consumption and wine tasting, the fundamentals of wine evaluation, and a wide range of knowledge about Hungary's wine regions, main wine types and food pairings. The curriculum will be taught by renowned experts, international wine academics, top sommeliers and wine writers. Thus, the expertise of the lecturers, combined with the carefully prepared course material, will guarantee the high quality of the seminars worth valuable credit points.
