Stage one · Free
Foundation
Where everyone starts, and free. The senses, the grape, and the way wine and food meet — learned by doing, not by memorising.
What this stage covers
- How to taste
- The main grapes and styles
- Why a pairing works
- Reading a label and a list
How it works
The Coach is question-led. You are shown a real dish-and-wine pairing or a question about it, and you answer; the explanation appears straight after, so you learn the why by doing rather than by reading ahead. The stages are taken in order, building on what you already know.
