Course Description

The wine industry in the Southern Hemisphere is part of the growing and dynamic "new world" wine industry. Southern Hemisphere wines include those based on the traditional international varieties as well as wines based on signature varietals you will only find in their respective countries.

In this course, you will explore the foundations of high-quality wines coming from five of the highest-volume wine-producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere: Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa. You will start with the consideration of the climate of these areas, remembering that Vitis vinifera is best grown between the 30th and 50th parallels of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. You will explore the grape varieties and wine styles associated with each of our countries of focus, and you will combine all that you discover to research a specific winery and wine from each country.
