The Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the body which awards the main qualifications for the wine business in the UK – but they also run courses and events for everyone interested in wine.
On 24 February 2010 the Trust is running a wine and food matching course in London.
For many people the matching of food and wine can be an anxiety, these Food & Wine matching workshops help you make the best combinations effortlessly. The workshop starts with an explanation of the principles behind food and wine combinations; which work and which don’t. Then the practical work begins, tasting examples of various food components – acidity, protein, spice, smokiness and sweetness – and finding out how, in practice, they react and interact with various wines.
The venue is London Wine & Spirit School, 39-45 Bermondsey Street, London, SE1 3XF.
