More than 11,000 people have signed up to a new version of a free online wine course run by the University of Adelaide in Australia. The course began enrollment in early July but it seems to still be accepting people. The course description states “in a matter of weeks this course will give you a broad understanding of the principles and practices used to grow grapes and make wine, and their impact on wine appearance, aroma, flavour and taste.”
The course, named World of Wine: From Grape to Glass even includes a virtual field trip to the Yalumba winery in Barossa Valley. Read more at Decanter

Liquid Alchemy will open Delaware’s first meadery on September 10 in Wilmington, DE. The grand opening, set for noon, will feature music and food. We will provide more updates as we get closer to the date. Although mead is one of the world’s oldest drinks, many customers may be unaware of honey wine and the many flavors it offers. Liquid Alchemy uses such ingredients as; Thai chilies, fresh limes, Oregon sour cherries and Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans, Washington Bing cherries and Peruvian Raw Cacao Nibs to create innovative new flavors.

We know for many unfamiliar with mead, a little education may be helpful. Luckily, the great people of Liquid Alchemy were willing to provide some insights on the various kinds of meads. Additionally, Delaware Online recently published a terrific article on Liquid Alchemy and mead in general.

We encourage you to come out for the grand opening to experience Delaware first meadery. You can learn more and stay updated on the latest from Liquid Alchemy by following them on Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting their website.
