Do you really know the path leading from the vine to your glass of wine?
This MOOC will initiate you to the scientific and technological bases which define the framework in which wine professionals work, from the vine to the glass.
This international online course presents you with 4 key modules on wine-making and sales: the biology of the vine, viticultural practices, oenology and the wine economy
Format

The lesson, activities and tests are in French and English. The videos are recorded in English and sub-titled in English, French and Mandarine Chinese. The videos are designed to be easily understood.
