The OWU MOOC, created by lecturers and professors at the University of Burgundy Academic Institute of Vine and Wine, takes you on a journey into the world of wine and vine. From viticulture to wine-tasting, taking in the notion of “terroir”, you will discover all the stages in the manufacturing processes of different French wines as well as the essential steps in wine-tasting. Why is a wine white, red, rosé or sparkling? How can you train your senses to detect taste and aroma? Over and above viticultural techniques, the OWU MOOC also provides you with insights into the history of grape varieties and the socio-cultural environment of wine and vine. Learning activities take the form of fun, interactive and participative exercises linked to social networks. You will understand why wines may be different from year to year, according to terroirs and wine-making techniques. This course, based on short videos including animated illustrations, will take place over 5 weeks. Participants will explore the world of wine and vine using their blogs and social networks.
