W12 - ONLINE Fruit Wine Making Practical Workshop

Our W12 Online course focuses on the production process of Wine and Cider, with some information on the making of Mead and Fortified Wine as well. Some important topics include Raw Material Selection, different Production Processes, everything you need to know in order to make a successful Fermentation, as well as various Wine Enhancing Methods.
