Seven lessons. One concept each.
The whole foundation in two weeks.
Grapes, yeast, and time. Four minutes and the whole process makes sense — including why reds feel grippy and whites feel fresh.
Red, white, rosé, sparkling, dessert. Here is what makes each one different and when to reach for it.
The five-step method that turns a sip into something you can actually describe and remember. Works in 30 seconds.
Three rules that cover almost every food and wine combination. Tannin, acid, sweetness — this is the whole system.
Old World vs. New World. One rule that decodes most bottles in sixty seconds, plus the shortcuts that handle European labels.
The six red varieties worth knowing — Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Malbec — and what makes each one different.
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and more — plus your next steps for exploring wine on your own terms.
A quick quiz that maps your taste preferences to the bottles and regions you will love most. Takes about a minute.

Built to actually stick
Most wine education is either too shallow or too deep. A blog post that tells you Chardonnay is white, or a 300-page textbook no one finishes. Wine 101 is neither. Each lesson is built around one concept, explained clearly, with the chemistry and reasoning behind it so you understand it instead of just memorizing it.
There is no sales pitch inside the course. No affiliate links buried in the lessons. No buy this bottle pushed at you. The whole course is just wine knowledge, the kind that makes every bottle more interesting and every dinner conversation a little better.

None. The course starts from the very beginning — how wine is made — and builds from there. If you can tell red from white, you are ready.
You finish with a solid working foundation — enough to navigate a wine list, pair confidently with food, and explore further on your own. The final lesson points you to the best next steps based on what you learned.
