Uncork your inner connoisseur with Elicite wine videos
A series of online tutorials will guide you through the world’s great winemaking regions

Budding oenophiles have a new resource to nurture their enjoyment and knowledge of fine wines: Elicite’s video tutorials, paired with a selection of premium bottles from the company’s cellars.
The videos are designed to appeal to a wide range of expertise, from the enthusiastic dabbler to established connoisseurs. For the former, a seven-part “Essentials” series explains how to read labels, how to store and serve fine wines and how to understand the appellation system.
Having mastered these principles, wine-lovers are encouraged to explore individual regions in more depth. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne are first in line, each the subject of a series of five-minute films introducing the appellations and their notable sub-regions, as well as the grapes that flourish in each.
