Ages 18+ Are you able to recognise these wines- sight unseen? We learn so much about a wine just by looking at it, and can often predict how it’ll taste without even taking a sip. Once the colour of wine has been taken out of the picture (quite literally) you'll be amazed at what you can (or can't) pick up on! So join us as we test your senses in this exclusive masterclass.
