France is inevitable. The materials, stories and anecdotes given are invaluable for anyone who wants to be cultured on wine wherever they're from.

The program is very terroir focused which interested me greatly and the level of detail gives a very in depth appreciation of each French region. The online resources and study aids contributed significantly to me achieving a pass. I was sceptical about the exam format being multiple choice but actually found that because of this I was forced to learn in a very detailed and accurate manner which I think will help me retain the knowledge gained into the future.

5 1 4 Karri Norton
I came away from the FWS with a much deeper understanding of the soil types and regional grapes of France than I ever have from any previous certification.

5 1 5 Azra Moiz
Really helped me to appreciate wine regions in an indepth way, with week-by-week focus on some of France's most important wines and terroirs.

5 1 4 Anton Vamplew
For me this has been a fascinating course. It truly allowed my to expand my understanding of all the major regions of France in a way I enjoy learning: the online teaching modules with interactive quiz-questions, together with an engaging, well put together course book, made it well-worth the money. I will certainly be taking more courses with the Wine Scholar Guild.

5 1 5 Katie Karo
I now have a great understanding of French AOCs. It has shown me new and interesting wines to try. Working in a liquor store as a buyer this has helped me give my customers education and encouraged them to buy wines outside of their comfort zone. Overall I throughly enjoyed the program!

5 1 5 Peter Alig
I loved this course!

5 1 5 Julie Draper
The independent study format is really well-conceived for someone like me who enjoys working in depth and at their own pace. The program itself is comprehensive, intuitive and very interesting.

5 1 5 Cody Hall
This was really stellar as far as self-study programs go. The online courses and self-evaluations helped me to measure my progress and prepare for the test, while the manual is a great resource in itself.

5 1 5 Juan Pablo Salgado
Very comprehensive study of the complexity of the wine industry in France. I was glad to join this course and learn more about history, laws, regions and of course the marvelous wines.

5 1 5 Antoinette Landragin
The French Wine Scholar program is an incredibly enjoyable scholastic venture for those interested in engaging more with the intricacies of the French wine world. Within each chapter lies a wealth of fascinating historical material to compliment the concise details on the highlighted AOCs.

5 1 5 Malcolm Lamont
The French Wine Scholar program widened my learning of all French wine regions, and built on already broadly-acquired knowledge from completing the Diploma in Wines and Spirits. With the Italian Wine Scholar course also completed, I am looking very much forward to the Spanish Wine Scholar!

5 1 3 Jc Parets
I learned a lot and it absolutely did its job in helping me learn more about French Wines. I don't know if I passed or not, but I'm already drinking great wines at low prices because I know what to look for!

5 1 5 Dawn Schultz
The French Wine Scholars program was the most prepared, informative and resourceful wine course I have ever taken. It was not easy but it was fair challenge!

5 1 4 Debra Hoe
This is a very good programme for serious wine enthusiasts looking to further their wine education beyond WSET Level 3 but who can't commit to the full Diploma programme. Highly recommended.

5 1 5 Anthony Gatti
The French Wine Scholar program was a joyful learning experience. We explored deeply each and every region of France, and we tasted wines from all the regions, including wines from lesser-known regions such as Savoie, Jura and Corsica. Overall, it was much more challenging than I had anticipated and anyone who passes this exam should be proud of their accomplishment. The FWS postscript is meaningful!

5 1 5 Florent Desaintpaul
The FWS program has been a great way for me to revisit the classic regions, and to further explore the heritage and value offered by lesser known areas. It has added depth and breadth of knowledge of industry trends and changes in French wine law. It certainly will be beneficial to my ongoing WSET Diploma studies.

5 1 5 Lyla Grant
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful course. I am still impressed by how seamlessly your in-depth curriculum was delivered to me (both in my classroom & online) in such a sensible, yet engaging format. Mr. Neptune was/is simply fantastic at bringing your program to life and Mrs. Airey’s online lectures the really cemented the content for me. The FWS Program was truly an educational delight.
This person has bought this item.

5 1 5 SUSAN BAGH
Great course. Helped me learn about France,its regional viticulture and a very good overview of all the French wines in 8 weeks time. It really got me interested in France as a country and its culture and the depth of variety that exists in terms of wine. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in gaining a head start in wines.

5 1 5 Guosheng Yeo
I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who seeks a more in-depth knowledge of French wines.

5 1 5 Lauren Norman
A comprehensive course on French wines with an excellent online base, along with a well composed text book. Materials were all well written in a manner that was interesting and easy to understand. This coupled with great wines to taste made this course one of the most interesting and enjoyable wine courses I have attended.

5 1 5 Gareth Wyatt
Thoroughly enjoyed it from the first page to the last! Studying the FWS Scholar programme made me thirsty for more!

5 1 5 David Wright
Excellent program. It is engaging, thorough, and fun. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about wine and is keen to learn.

5 1 5 Heath Richardson , FWS
If you're looking to bolster your knowledge of French wine, then look no further. The information is presented with a historical background that ties into the learning and makes it both interesting and fun. The French Wine Scholar manual could easily serve as the most up to date and accurate reference on the wines of France.

5 1 5 Andy Halpern
We are very excited to launch the new advanced level “French Wine Scholar” certification program through the Wine Scholar Guild at Glazers Louisiana. We are happy to embrace this program and look forward to working with the Wine Scholar Guild.

5 1 5 Tim OHare
The French Wine Scholar study manual is really terrific! You should be really proud of it. I have learned six dozens things from it… As a matter of fact, I’m including many of the things I learned into my own presentations on France. I can’t wait to pass the exam and teach the program to our staff.

5 1 5 Pamela Kindel
We are excited to launch the French Wine Scholar program, which is the first of its kind in the US. It provides the student with the most comprehensive and in-depth look at all of France on an advanced level.

I fully embrace this program. It is significant in its depth and breadth. I have been involved in French wines for a long time and am delighted to see such an educational initiative finally materialize.
