Wineserver is the official instructor of the Spanish Wine Scholar course in Finland. Spain is a fascinating wine country and certainly offers something for every wine lover. The Spanish Wine Scholar course book covers the geography and history of Spain as a whole, as well as the history and culture of each wine region.
