Wine Appreciation flashcards

If you’ve ever felt utterly overwhelmed by the variety of wines there are to choose from—and yet wished you had the basic knowledge to better appreciate the enchanting world of wine—Brainscape’s Wine Appreciation flashcards are meant for you!

Forget complicated and overwhelming… This neatly-organized collection of 16 decks of +730 flashcards makes learning about wine entertaining and accessible, taking you on an epic journey through the story of wine, from soil to cellar, and grape to grocery store.

Why learn about wine?

A baseline wine knowledge elevates your meal experiences at home and in restaurants; it demystifies the wine menu and shopping experiences; it puts you in a position to impress friends, colleagues, and clients; and it can inject very real magic—or even romance—into your travel experiences!

This collection of Wine Appreciation flashcards? Well, it’s your official passport to that world of wine learning and enjoyment.

What will I learn?

This comprehensive collection of flashcards covers everything you need to know about wine to empower you to order it, buy it, talk about it, ask the right questions, and seek out unique experiences. From a practical standpoint, you’ll learn how to:

• Pair the right wines with your food
• Store and serve wine
• Read (and understand) wine labels
• Navigate the wine menu and talk to sommeliers
• Find the wine you want in the store
• And more

Then, within these 16 decks of flashcards, you’ll travel the length of the wine alphabet—from Amarone to Zinfandel—and the breadth of the world's best-known winelands, whose names have become synonymous with the libations they produce. Think: Bordeaux and Burgundy.

We’ve also endeavored to approach the subject from the perspective of someone who is interested in but knows very little about wine, so it doesn’t matter from what level you’re starting your wine education. We’ve got you!
