Here's what some of our customers have been saying about both our consumer and trade wine courses.
'Max Your Wine Knowledge' consumer course
"The whole course took me about 3 hours and it was such fun! I’m amazed at how much I learned and how much more I appreciate wine now."
Tina Spong - Camberley, Surrey
"The modules were interesting and informative and I had great fun testing my knowledge. I now enjoy trying different wines and in particular exploring wines with different foods."
Sarah F - Ealing, London
"If I wanted to learn anything about wine as an amateur, I would choose Vintellect's 'Max Your Wine Knowledge' course. The course is full of depth and flavour, just like a good wine! There is plenty of interaction, whilst simultaneously being a serious educational tool, in a no-nonsense sort of way. Obviously the tasting part was my favourite bit! You can't fail to impress your friends after you have completed this course."
Louise Moore - Ealing, London
"I did the course with my partner and we found it to be both fun and informative. The food and wine matching section was particularly revealing."
Sam Atkinson - Wandsworth, London
"What a great way to spend an evening. I really enjoyed the food and wine matching exercise and was amazed by how much the food changed the flavour of the wine."
John Warner - Newbury, Berkshire
'Max Your Wine Sales' trade course
"Since installing the 'Max Your Wine Sales' CD, the interest that has been generated amongst our staff has been fantastic and we have witnessed an increase in sales."
Carl Smith, Manager, The Guinea - Bruton Place, London W1
"A fantastic investment when it comes to staff training! 'Max Your Wine Sales' CD is both informative and fun to complete and we have seen an amazing increase in sales of our higher quality, more expensive wines. Staff are showing much more confidence in up-selling and recommending wines."
Kristie Brinklow, Licensee, The Kings Arms - London SW18
"I really liked the presentation of the course and found it easy to navigate. I enjoyed the course greatly and think it will help me to sell more better quality wines."
Anonymous feedback from staff questionnaire
"I learned a great deal from the course and found that it has really stimulated my interest to learn more about wine. I now make lots of recommendations to customers encouraging them to buy wines other than the house wines."
Anonymous feedback from staff questionnaire
"I found the 'Max Your Wine Sales' programme to be informative and interesting without bombarding the user with too much unnecessary information. Diagrams and illustrations were clear and easily understood and all my staff found the course helpful and useful. The facility to learn in your own time was particularly useful to staff, as is the ability to go back and re-study to refresh your knowledge; I've been back 4 times!
Ultimately the course helped my team and I develop a greater understanding of wine and gave us the confidence to up sell to customers."
