The lecture consists of seven teaching units, with compulsory attendance.

The following units display wine producing countries and their terroir, climates, production systems and wines. Lectures will be held by external experts in viticulture. Students organize in groups to present about other winegrowing regions of their interests (groups and regions will be decided during the first lecture).
