Masterclass: Forgotten Grapes - Sold Out
2024-05-09 19:00 - 21:00 | V and B, 10 St Giles' Square,, Northampton, NN1 1DA, United Kingdom
The choice and use of grapes in wine is quite a complex subject â€“ not only do winemakers have to adapt their choice of grapes to different terroirs and climates â€“ but also to different tastes, as consumers ultimately determine the style, taste and strength of the wine that they want to buy. Whatâ€™s more, in certain countries there are rules which dictate which grapes can be grown in which region, so inevitably some grapes will be left behind. For this masterclass, weâ€™ll be taking a look at the Forgotten Grapes of the wine industry â€“ discovering where they grow, how they taste and why they have been forgotten.
