Good content, terrible quality
Good content. Explained nicely about 5 wine varieties. It's a good course for a beginner. It will increase the vocabulary and knowledge for sure! However, the DVD quality is terrible. It looks as if the producers ran an old VHS tape and captured it on a DVD.

Excellent--but dated
An excellent series (BBC. Jancis Robinson brings a certain wit & British charm to the whole subject. She has an amazing ability to stand outside of the wine hype and almost view it as an outsider. The only thing is this: this series has a 1995 copyright. And a lot has happened in 13 years!

Was it about wine...?
I've tried desperately to watch this DVD on several occasions only to find myself bored by the tiresome ramblings of Jancis R. I wasn't as convinced this DVD was about wine as it was about her seeing how long she could talk. Hoping at any point she might get as tired of hearing her own voice as I was of hearing it. Thank goodness I didn't buy this dvd. I've rented it a couple times hoping to find some little nugget that might interest me. No such luck. At this point, not only would I NOT buy this DVD set, I wouldn't want it if it were given to me. And the chance of me renting again is pretty close to non-existent. And if there were an option for giving this DVD a zero star rating, that's still more than it deserves.

Jancis Robinson Wine Course
This is a great introductory over view of wine regions. It has fun quizzes on the special features, as well as maps and links and wine recomendations. Its fun.

Delightfully witty
I absolutely loved this video series. It is very well done for a novice or more experienced wine lover. Jancis Robinson's very reserved, yet witty sense of humor and passion for the world of wine is a wonderful complement to her thorough knowledge of the subject matter. I would recommend this wine course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge on the subject.
