If you haven't signed up for the current session of wine appreciation classes, it's still not too late. The Wine Development Board offers its usual very comprehensive range of courses in venues all over the country; while some have started, others kick off during this month and next. Tel 01 280 4666, email infowineboard.com, web www.wineboard.com. Many wine merchants and other enthusiasts also run classes, so your favourite shop should be able to point you in the right direction. Berry Bros & Rudd are among the latest to offer classes with glasses, upstairs in their splendid premises at 4 Harry Street, Dublin. Tel 01 677 3444, email infobbr.ie
