Overcoming the feeling of not being able to detect any single, identifiable aroma or flavour in a wine
Being confused over which wine to pair with which food because of the conflicting advice that is out there
Not being able to understand what the terms on the wine label are indicating to you
Knowing when to reject a wine because of a wine fault
Selecting a wine for yourself or others based on their dietary choice or allergies
