Modules

D1 Wine production

Students will develop a strong understanding of vine requirements, the anatomy of the vine and grape, and the wide range of grape-growing approaches, while exploring how natural vineyard factors and cultivation choices influence yield, quality, style and the character of the final wine. Students will develop a strong understanding of the production process for wine, from manual and machine harvest, and the wide range of fermentation and maturation options, as well as considering the impact of key winery operations on the style, quality, and price of the wine. 

D2 Wine Business 

Students will explore the full commercial journey of wine, from the different types of businesses involved in production and routes to market, to the factors that shape pricing and the key principles behind successful wine marketing.

Good value
Size: 40, Color: Black With Black Strip
My husband and brother in law both found these pants to fit a little smaller than regular dress pants.....mostly they were tighter in the thighs but the length/waist was perfect. They each ordered a size or two up and had the pants tailors to fit. They looked very sharp and were of a good quality considering they were not super expensive. I hope they have the chance to wear these more often!

Reasonable quality, slightly small, definitely unhemmed
Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip, Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip
If these pants are the right look for what you want/need, they're a reasonably good quality option. But that said, in practice these looked a little "cheesy" with the black stripe. I can't say for sure that's a result of how the product is made/how it looks, but I just couldn't see myself wearing them. That's assuming I could wear them... In terms of fit, they were slightly small in the waist for both pairs I ordered. I'm not sure what I thought they meant when I read that they were unhemmed, but for those looking for pants to take out of the box and wear... these aren't for you. The ankles are not "finished" and require hemming to make them look acceptable. (This was my fault, so I didn't count off for this)
