A Sommelier is actually a job that can't really be conferred by a course. You have to work on a restaurant floor to actually become/be a sommelier. BUT our course will definitely give you the tools and understanding you need to become a competent sommelier. So, if you were to take our course and work in the wine side of the restaurant business then you would definitely be a sommelier. An example is our Master of Wine, Christine Marsiglio. She is not a sommelier as she’s never worked on a restaurant floor and so wouldn’t legitimately call herself a sommelier. However, she is a wine expert, and has the knowledge, but less so the practical skills required to be a sommelier. There's always a practical component involved in being a sommelier, which is normally conferred through working in a restaurant.

Basics in the back pocket!
It’s easy to approach to the world of wine through Wine Folly! The 101 course gives you the bases and the desire go keep on going for a deeper understanding of wine.
Good introduction
It was a good introduction class. I took the 201 class first and this course definitely had more in-depth information. I also liked the quiz after each chapter.
Great intro to wine!
Lots of great stuff to learn. We’ll organized and easy to work your way through the lessons.
Great course!
I really enjoyed wine 101. I wanted to learn more about wine and this course was great for a beginner.
Intensely educational and fun
The Wine 101 course exceeded my expectations as I had very little idea of the rigors behind wine. The course has been enlightening. It was a good starting point for me as I'm not quite a novice, but hardly an expert. Overall, anyone looking to get started on serious learning about wine should certainly consider this course.
