Thanks for your interest in the Wine Studies Program!
The Wine Studies program now offers four degrees/certificates (the difference is degrees require general education classes in addition to wine requirements where the certificate requires just the wine classes):

For all degrees/certificates, the introductory classes are:
-
Wine 1 (Introduction to Wine and Viticulture and Wines of the World)
-
Wine 3 (Introduction to Enology)
-
Wine 70 (Beginning Sensory Analysis)
-
Wine 110 (Advanced Sensory Analysis)
Wine 1, Wine 3 and Wine 110 are offered every semester and Wine 70 is usually offered twice each semester (once in the first 8 weeks and once in the second 8 weeks).
Wine 3 (Introduction to Enology) is offered in both an in-person and a “hybrid” version (in which lectures are online and labs are in-person on four Saturdays). In the fall semester, assignments in the Wine 3 hybrid class start in mid-October and labs are in November and December.
A comparison of the Marketing and Hospitality and Service degree/certificate course requirements is here.
If you are interested in Wine Hospitality and Service, it can be completed in one year.
