Why a Home Wine Course?

Why a "Home Wine Course"? Well...

Ever thought about exploring the romantic wine countries of the world but found you didn't have the knowledge, time, or money?

Ever felt like wine was only for the rich and famous?

Ever wondered where you could go to learn about wine without great expense or having to join a snobbish wine club?

Ever wanted to be informed about interesting, 'user-friendly' wine shops, 'wine-destination' restaurants, wine-oriented travel agencies, and wine country hotels, inns, and bed & breakfasts?

Well, now you can explore the glories of wine country from your favorite armchair, sipping an elegant Bordeaux or a crisp Argentinian Chardonnay while perusing your free Home Wine Course maps and text. You can educate your own palate about the hundreds of wines of the world available in the United States today through this simple program of a text-supported tasting experience. We'll help you select the wines (which you can soon purchase at a discount from one of our member wine shops) and the simplified course material will properly introduce you to the countries of origin. Then, if you'd like, you can follow the web links we provide to take a 'virtual tour' of the wineries represented in your tasting package. You can choose to explore the wines of any individual country you'd like, or select a set of three, six, or all twelve countries profiled in the program. The member store will arrange to have your wines ready when you are ready for the next tasting package.

Remember, there's nothing to sign up for, no charge for the information we provide here. You're free to visit this web site at any time (updates will be done periodically; visit the National Wine UnClub newsletter page for our latest views on the subject of wine). Join our Yahoo wine discussion group to see what your fellow wine enthusiasts are drinking. Download or print the text and maps if you wish. We're just interested in you having the thrilling experience of discovering the fascinating diversity of the world of wine. If you have fun with this 'tasting tour' program we know you'll want to share it with your family and friends. In fact, if you're like the people we know, you'll probably plan friendly tasting and/or dinner parties around each segment of The Home Wine Course. Because this is a self-guided program you can be as creative with it as you like!
