Cours sur
les vins
N’allez pas croire que la connaissance des vins
se résume à apprendre un jargon technique compliqué et à se bourrer
le crâne de vagues notions. Les cours sur les vins de la LCBO démystifient
le sujet sur un ton beaucoup plus léger en vous donnant des notions
pratiques sur le monde du vin, qui est en constante évolution. Notre
conseiller en produits traitera de différents aspects concernant
l’élaboration du vin et l’harmonie entre les vins et les mets (même pour
les mets où cela est difficile, comme les desserts au chocolat!), et vous
fournira des renseignements utiles sur les régions productrices de vin
et sur les variétés de raisins. Les cours sont étalés sur trois sessions de
quatre semaines : Une introduction au monde du vin, Les vins du
Vieux Continent et Les vins du Nouveau Monde.
