What is the difference between a wine tasting and a wine course

At a wine tasting, you discover wines and can usually buy them afterwards. A wine course focuses on learning about wine. The Cloud Wine wine course goes a step further and translates that wine knowledge into useful tools.
The terms wine tasting and wine course are often confused. In short: at a wine tasting you taste and at a wine course you learn. Unless it’s Cloud Wine, then you also learn while tasting. Are you still with me?
Wine tasting: what’s in a name
A wine tasting can be defined as an organized event where participants taste wine. That is the main purpose of the event: to taste, discover and of course enjoy different wines. Often, participants have the opportunity to purchase the wines after the wine tasting. You will undoubtedly learn something new during a wine tasting, but the educational aspect is secondary. For that, you need a wine course.
Price range: free up to €40
Wine course: invest to digest
The definition of a “wine course” is: a series of wine lessons. The purpose of a wine course is to learn about the world of wine. Of course, this is combined with wine tasting, the most enjoyable part of the wine course. But this is in support of the educational part. Often, different and consecutive wine course levels are offered.
Price range: €50 up to €1.000
