5 reasons to start your wine journey—even if you don’t know anything yet

At Tinta Academy, we believe that knowledge transforms the way we live, share, and enjoy wine. That’s why we offer accessible, certified learning opportunities—so that anyone, with or without prior experience, can take their first steps into the world of wine with confidence.

You don’t need to know everything to begin. All you need is curiosity, a desire to learn, and clear guidance along the way.

Here are five reasons to take the first step:

1. You’ll understand what you’re drinking (and why you like it)
Wine is more than a beverage—it’s the result of a process that starts in the vineyard and ends in your glass. You’ll learn about the key stages of viticulture and winemaking, discover what defines a white, red, or rosé, how climate influences the grapes, and why certain styles feel fresher, fruitier, or more intense.

2. You’ll speak confidently in culinary or professional settings
If you work in hospitality, tourism, or simply enjoy conversations about wine, learning its language will help you communicate with clarity. You’ll be able to read labels, identify grape varieties, and describe a wine with precision—valuable skills that build trust and professionalism.

3. You’ll enjoy every glass even more
Learning doesn’t take the joy away from wine—it enhances it. You’ll understand aromas, flavours, and structural elements like sweetness, acidity, or body, allowing you to recognise what you enjoy and why. It will also expand your palate and encourage you to explore new styles and regions.

4. You’ll learn how to pair wine and food more effectively
The WSET Level 1 course provides practical tools to understand how wine and food interact. It’s not about rigid rules—it’s about knowing how sweetness, acidity, or fat in a dish affects your perception of the wine. This makes every gastronomic experience more balanced and memorable.

5. You’ll take the first step in internationally recognised wine education
The WSET Level 1 Award in Wines is an official certification with global recognition. No prior knowledge is required, making it perfect for beginners. In just two in-person sessions, you’ll gain a solid foundation to advance to Level 2—or simply enjoy wine with more awareness.
