French Wine Scholar Online - Independent Study Format

The way that WSG does a deep dive into the history and culture mixed with the wine knowledge is unique and makes it more entertaining to learn.

A fantastically comprehensive work book and online program. I really enjoyed the content and felt that studying for the FWS significantly added to my wine knowledge.

Really helpful to understand french wines and history thank you

The FWS course provided a comprehensive and engaging view into the complex world of French wine. The integration of the culture the history and the landscape brought it all together. The wide range of study materials and different modes of delivery (book maps lectures eLearning quizzes flash cards supplemental materials) were extremely helpful.

I have been in the wine industry for 20 years but there was so much I didnt know. It was a really fun experience to learn new things through this program. The accompanying online material was visual and made me feel like I was traveling. Thank you for a truly enjoyable learning experience.

The French Wine Scholar course is the best wine certification course I have taken. The textbook is extremely well organized and well written and the online materials are of very high quality. Questions on the forum are answered quickly and competently.

Before this I took the CMS Intro Sommelier course WSET3 and the Certified Specialist of Wine course. All of these have their good points but in my opinion none compare in quality to FWS.

A challenging subject which is supported by excellent materials both online and in hard copy. The segmentation of sections for each region gives a firm grounding in the important factors influencing it. Flashcards and quiz for each section really solidify the information.

I have completed both the Spanish Wine Scholar and French Wine Scholar programs and although the depth of information is vast the quality of resources available make it manageable. You need to put in the hard work and study time to get through it all but there is no question that I gained a much deeper understanding of those 2 classic wine regions.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying the French Wine Scholar material and have made plans to put my knowledge to the test by touring some of these regions in 2025.

My goal for taking this course was to be more knowledgeable about French wine. I had not really drank French wine and now with the knowledge I have gained I am better prepared to make wine choices and I am ready experiment and try different wines.

Highly recommended for those who would like to dig into French wine.

Having already completed the excellent Italian Wine Scholar and Master Bourgogne courses the addition of the French Wine Scholar course exceeded my expectations in regards to enhancing the wine knowledge I am seeking build. I would deem this course be considered essential for those who seriously want to learn about wine and its history.

FWS was a fantastic way to learn more about French wine and history related.

A fascinating and challenging course that has deepened my understanding of French wine beyond expectations

An in-depth study of French wine - the study materials are detailed and comprehensive so the At a Glance summaries were particularly good to have at revision time. The classroom lectures with tastings were invaluable in presenting the essence of each region and Yorkshire Wine School were excellent as usual.

The French Wine Scholar program gives students a deep understanding about particular wine regions which has helped me professionally.

It is a lot of material to remember but it is inspiring and fun!

A very comprehensive course on French wine! The depth and breadth of information is appropriate for a wine professional as well as an individual who is just interested in self learning.

French Wine Scholar is the best wine education course I've taken so far. The materials are extremely high-quality both online and in print. I've found myself fascinated by regions I often neglected such as Jura and Beaujolais. I found the teachings very relevant to my wine journey and made me crave exploring French wines a whole lot more.

Excellent programme provided by Ecole du Vins Languedoc. Very highly rated by me. Programme is difficult but challenging.

Overall great program. Would strongly recommend to my friends

Very good online training contents

A fantastic course which not only explores the diversity and quality of French wine but dives into the history culture and future of the countrys great wine regions.

I enjoyed FWS so much that I have already subscribed and started studying for IWS1. It is worth the effort to deep dive into all the aspects of the wines of a country.

This is a reputable course for anyone who wants to learn French Wine.

Now I am more confident and excited to drink from regions outside my comfort zone and share my experiences with my friends.

FWS is a very thorough program which gives a very clear overview of the various French wine regions and their appellations

I found the FWS program extremely valuable and with great details. While it clearly goes into strong depth on each region it does an amazing job of tying France together. I am currently pursuing the WSET Diploma in Wine and the FWS (and IWS) have given me a great head start.

Excellent Program! A must for all French wine lovers! Highly recommended!

The FWS program material and online program was very well structured. It supported greatly the understanding an learning process.
