WINE TASTING AND CPD

  • Edenwood Place
    • Jeff Heasman MABP, PGCert CELTA, LL.B (Hons), LL.M

MOVING BEYOND LABELS: WHAT WINE CAN TEACH US ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION! There are many links between the world of wine and a good strategy for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and society as a whole. Wines and humans share the same basic structures but are unique in their own way. Like labelling in society, people tend to make judgements about wines based on labels but in fact wine tasting requires us to notice characteristics and to reflect on our experience and this is exactly the same strategy that helps to encourage diversity and inclusion. By tasting 5 different wines from Spain and Portugal, we will learn how to move beyond labels and relate this to diversity and inclusion both in the workplace and society as a whole.
