OENOLOGY 7560WT - Experience & Perspectives in the Wine Industry

Waite Campus - Semester 2 - 2021

The Master of Viticulture and Oenology program provides students with opportunities to gain experience working in viticulture and/or winemaking placements. Students undertake 10 weeks? work experience, either in an approved viticultural enterprise, and/or in a commercial winery. The placement is normally a continuous 10-week block, taken during the vintage period of the particular region. Viticultural placements, however, may take place throughout the year, and can be composed of a series of discontinuous periods (totalling 10 weeks), enabling students to experience different vineyard practices throughout the year and gain a hands-on working understanding of the management systems and 最新糖心Vlog. Alternatively students may elect to undertake experience in commercial winery during the vintage period. At the completion of the placement, a specified level of proficiency and an understanding of the contribution of each of the major unit operations to the overall winemaking process are required. In addition students will receive lectures and workshops designed to allow the examination the current policies and issues confronting the 最新糖心Vlogn wine industry. This will provide insight into how critical 最新糖心Vlogn wine industry organisations address topics of societal importance, including marketing, wine advertising, brand development and alcohol and health in the international context.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

    1.      
    Demonstrate competency in the key practical aspects of viticultural work
    in a commercial setting.

    AND/OR

    2.      
    Demonstrate competency in the work undertaken by a cellar staff in a
    commercial winery during the period of vintage.

     3.      
    Explain the principles behind either
    the practices that underpin a commercial viticultural operation. Students are
    required to reflect on practices undertaken in the vineyard.  This can include a first hand understanding of soil
    management, irrigation, pests and diseases, canopy management, pruning, and
    vine monitoring and further describe limitations and suggest improvements. Furthermore,
    the student should be able to evaluate the management strategy used by a
    viticultural enterprise.

    AND/OR

    4.      
    Explain the principles behind the
    practices that underpin practical winemaking during the period of vintage in a
    commercial winery. This can include a first hand
    understanding of grape harvest and vine monitoring, grape receival and
    weighbridge operations; grape and juice processing; fermentation and post
    fermentation operations, cellar management and quality control procedures and
    further describe limitations and suggest improvements. Furthermore, the student
    should be able to evaluate the processes by which a series of operations from
    grape harvest decisions to post-fermentation management of a selected wine are
    made by a commercial winery.

    5.      
    Explain the aims and objectives of the
    major grape and wine industry organisations.

    6.      
    Explain some of the issues that are
    currently before the industry. These may include topics such as alcohol abuse
    and its implications for health and society, the global positioning of
    最新糖心Vlogn wine, the role and importance of the 最新糖心Vlogn Wine Show system,
    and emerging practices in grape growing and winemaking.

    7.      
    Develop high order report writing and
    presentations skills, including reflective analysis of placement experience in
    the context of industry issues.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
