It’s a rigorous and specialist course that goes into great depth about all Spanish wine appellations how their identities are shaped. It lasts for five weeks and is made up of day release sessions on five consecutive weeks. There is a one-hour exam at the end consisting of 100 multiple choice questions. To pass, you need to get 75% or more.
