The complicated nature of wine has taken Kenyans to class, to study it. In a wine class in Nairobi, men and women in their 30s and 40s sit in rows practicing how to swirl and smell the notes of citrus, floral undertones, peaches, and perhaps apricots.
Having seen the enormous potential of wine in Kenya, Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET), the world’s largest provider of qualifications, now has trainers in Kenya. Over 100 people have gone through the programme, learning about the intrigues of wine.
