WSET student? Aussie wine fan? General wine nerd? If this is you, or you just enjoy a good old quiz with a prize up for grabs, join us on Monday 14 June for our monthly TBC Quiz to test your wine knowledge.
We’ve converted our UK Tasting Blind Club into an online Tasting Blind Club Quiz, with the next session on Monday 14 June (7pm – 7.45pm BST). Tune in from home, pour yourself a glass of Aussie wine and get your thinking caps on. As well as having some fun, this is an opportunity to keep up your studies and refresh your Australian wine knowledge.
There will be four rounds of questions, with ten questions per round. For the first two rounds, have a look through our Australian Wine Discovered Facilitator Guides for alternative varieties and Yarra Valley. Emma will be basing the questions on information contained in these guides. The second two rounds will cover other aspects of Australian wine as well as a ‘mixed bag’ of questions more broadly across the world of wine. Best score wins a bottle of premium Aussie wine! (UK addresses only.)
The quiz will take place on Zoom and it will last around 45 minutes. We will send you a link to join the session on the day of the quiz and all you need to do is log on by clicking the link just before 7pm (GMT).
