9 November: wine tasting and Spanish courses in Bilbao.

On the 9th November at 4 p.m. we have organized wine testing in one of the most important specialist wine shops in Bilbao. The students on the Spanish courses and any of the participants in the voluntary programmes, work placements and Spanish teaching courses ELE are invited to participate in this free mini course on wine tasting.
During the session we will have the opportunity to try some of the region’s best wines (Txacoli, Rioja, Ribera de Duero) and furthermore we will test the students abilities to follow the whole conversation in Spanish.

Remember that there are 3 aspects to wine tasting:

Visual analysis: colour, transparency, sheen, intensity, tinges of pigment and formation of bubbles.

Analysis of smell: fruity, floral, appreciating its purity, complexity and intensity

Analysing how it feels in your mouth: acidity, sweetness, texture of tannins and body, equilibrium, persistency of smells etc.
