Wine tasting in culinary school for non-alchohol drinkers?
Hello. I am considering going to culinary school but I was told by someone who used to attend it that you have to taste wine. I don't drink alchohol because of my religion & my health. Can anyone offer me some advice? Is wine tasting a requirement for studying culinary arts? Thanks.
Answers:
um.. is a requirement to studying the arts?? Ehh.. that's a difficult question. It kind of depends on how gourmet or complicated you want to study. Alcohol is a very important in some of the really gourmet savory and sweet dishes.
But, maybe you can ask your instructor if instead of tasting the wine, you can do research on each type they taste, like the flavors, what type of fruit or vegetable it ferments from, etc.
