Alternatively, if you would like class purchase wines for the class, we have hand-selected an AWS 6-pack for Level 1 through WineJug, an online retail, to enhance your studies. Founded by an AWS alum, WineJug can deliver your class wines directly to your door. Students are responsible for the cost of the wines. Click on the logo below to access class wines:
