About Us

Welcome and thank you for viewing our web site. Birmingham Wine School is an independant wine education company whose aim is to provide wine tasting for everyone. As we are not tied to any wine merchant or retalier we are able to offer impartial advice and taste only wines we truly believe are good examples of their type.

The wine school family also run courses in 3 other major cities - Leeds, Edinburgh and Newcastle. We will be adding other locations in the near future.

For any help just drop me a line, Regards, Rob Price
