Wine Courses Barcelona’s Post

I can do hard things! Earlier this year, I set three personal goals for 2024: 💬 Improve my Spanish 🎨 Make time for creativity 🍾 Earn another wine certification Last weekend, I completed the Comité Champagne Champagne Specialist course with Monika Bielka-Vescovi at the Napa Valley Wine Academy. I prepared since February, making flashcards and conducting my own practice tastings. Studying Champagne required me to engage different parts of my brain for retention and real-world application, similar to conducting a Demo or Client Onboarding meeting. To succeed, I reflected on past learning experiences and used three sales enablement techniques to prepare: 1. Create a strategy with milestones (due dates, practice test scores) 📆 2. Use diverse learning methods (WBT, YouTube, social media, flashcards) 🗂 3. Reward achievements (Champagne tastings!) 🥂 Applying sales training methods in my studies was an eye-opener. When have you used work strategies in your personal life? Share your experiences in Comments! P.S. I won’t have my final test score for a couple of months since it's graded in France. 😱 #personaldevelopment #wineeducation #salestips

🍻 Here's one that really made me sweat.  Sometimes you think "it'll be easy, don't worry"... Well no: this one wasn't. At least not for me. I thought beer 🍺 was going to be easy... Until I immersed myself in this course. It's a world apart: full of exceptions and therefore rules. I'd never have thought that such a "little" study book would give me so much trouble. But phew! I've got my diploma. One thing's for sure, it wasn't my favourite, but I have to say that in the end I discovered a world that was completely unknown to me and that piqued my curiosity. In any case, I highly recommend this course. The bar is set high, but the course is great, the website is perfect, and the teachers always have an ear for the students. That level 2 is very intensive (I find it even more so than level 2 Spirits) both in terms of the information given and the learning system. Typical of the WSET school. Thank you again for the quality of the courses you offer. 📚  I am absolutely convinced by this course which is a must for anyone working in the beer industry, HoReCa and alcohol sales. But no offence or rancour, I won't be celebrating this diploma with a beer, but with a glass of champagne. I won't be easily changed. Cheers for that. 🥂 #WSET #learning #WSETbeer #Brewer #apprentissage #London #school #découverte #terroir #culture #tradition #hops #yeast #levure #bière #Malt #adjuncts #beerproduction #alcoholindustry #retail #beerstyles #fermentation #lager #ale #pils #brewing #brewingprocess #beerontap #flavours #education #consulting #consultant #wineandstrategy #conseil #marketing #zythologie #zythologue #love Photo credit WSET School London

Today is International Beer Day. International Beer Day is a celebration that brings together beer lovers around the world. Originally launched in Santa Cruz, California in 2007, this day has quickly grown into a global event. Every first Friday in August, people around the world raise their glasses to celebrate the art of craft brewing, the community and, of course, the beer itself. Time to introduce you to the beer game: The MIT Beer Distribution Game is a role-playing game in which the participants take on different positions in a beer supply chain. The aim is to keep the overall costs as low as possible. As the individual parties are not allowed to exchange all of their information, but only communicate with each other via order quantities, attention is generally focussed only on their own situation. As a result, the system builds up very quickly, as is known from the bullwhip effect. If you would like to celebrate by playing the game you will find instructions on Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. But it would be a better idea to play the game as a part of the bachelor degree program Internationales Logistikmanagement at Logistikum - FH Oberösterreich at FH OÖ Campus Steyr | Fakultät für Wirtschaft und Management - and in this way learn more about and understand the importance of data streams in business. I think you could apply this month and enjoy playing with your classmates in September. #logistics #beergame #bullwhipeffect #logisticsmanagement #studierdichweiter

Cheers to National American Beer Day! Today, let’s raise a glass to one of life’s simplest yet richest pleasures. But beyond just the drink and while it’s not American, there’s a lesson in every pint of Guinness—a reminder that some of the best things in business and life take time and a steady hand. Guinness, with its signature depth and smooth, velvety texture, doesn’t just happen overnight. Like any worthwhile pursuit, it takes craftsmanship, patience, and dedication to achieve. In a world that pushes us to go faster, the story behind a pint of Guinness is a reminder that good things come to those who work hard and focus. Just as Guinness’s iconic commercials celebrate this brilliance, I bring the same approach to my life and relationships. Whether you’re building a business, growing a team, or pursuing a passion, remember to take the time to get it right. Success, much like that perfect pour, is built layer by layer with care and consistency. So, here’s to finding the richness in each step, savoring the journey, and—like a good Guinness—always aiming for brilliance in the work we do and the people we share it with. Cheers to all those who take pride in what they create, one sip at a time!!! . . #modernbusiness #bizdev #pipeline #growth #coaching
