The basics of wine and wine styles.
Factors affecting the quality and flavour of wine: grape variety, origin, climate, winemaking.
Wine tasting and evaluation (15 wines per session), including pairings with food.
The different types and styles of wine: white, red, rosé, sparkling, sweet, etc.
The label, origin and descriptions.
An overview and guide to the world’s main wine-producing regions.
Do you work in the hospitality industry, wine trade or retail, and would you like to be better able to advise guests and customers? Or are you a wine lover who finally wants to understand what you’re tasting and why you enjoy a particular wine? During the SVH Wine 2 course, you’ll build a solid and practical foundation in a short space of time.
You don’t need any prior training or extensive knowledge of wine. You’ll learn the theory yourself via e-learning. The rest you’ll learn through practical experience in a single day’s class from 10.00 to 16.00 or an evening class from 17.00 to 22.00 (three evenings at some venues). This way, you’ll quickly build up your knowledge of wine and your confidence, without having to undertake a lengthy course.
The course material is organised into interactive magazines and is supported by unique 3D wine maps. This brings wine regions literally to life. No dry theory here – just visual and interactive learning where seeing really does mean understanding.

Everything you need to know about SVH Wine 2 at WTOL Academy.
SVH stands for: Stichting Vakbekwaamheid Hospitality.
SVH’s core objective is to enhance professional competence in the hospitality sector. Together with partners from hospitality education and the business community, SVH develops (digital) learning resources and teaching methods for vocational education (MBO), trainers and business owners. SVH ensures standards of knowledge by setting examinations and provides insight into the range of training programmes available for the hospitality sector. In this way, they help to ensure that hospitality education is aligned with the needs of the business world; we contribute to innovation and enhance professional competence within the sector. www.svh.nl
Yes. This course is specifically intended as an entry level. You do not need any prior education. If you mainly want to get “more grip” on wine (instead of just names and facts), this is a good start.
SVH is an independent organisation and places great value on transparency and reliability. That’s why they have asked the Foundation Examination Board to provide external supervision of all SVH exams.
The Foundation Examination Board is an independent institution that supervises professional qualifying and/or function-oriented exams. The Examination Board has conducted various audits and found that the SVH exams meet the requirements.
This way we ensure that the quality of your SVH certificates and diplomas is additionally guaranteed.
Game learning, that’s learning through entertainment. By offering information and/or skills in game form, we make learning, discovering and experiencing fun. You stay motivated and the knowledge you gain sticks better and is available in your own time. The E-learning│Game Learning contains a unique learning method. The program is built on knowledge, insight and application. It can, therefore, be quite challenging to answer the questions. We do strongly recommend that you first go through the lessons thoroughly before answering the questions.
SVH, SDEN and WSET are not training courses but exam levels from three independent organisations. To obtain the right diploma, you must find a recognised trainer who meets your requirements. Because WSET is the largest organisation for wine education worldwide, it is often mistakenly seen as an internationally recognised training. In terms of content, the training lags behind SVH and SDEN, which both have industry recognition and international appeal.
Theoretical and experimental frameworks.
Theoretical and experimental frameworks apply to both SVH and SDEN exams. For SVH exams, a plus applies, meaning extra content on practical applicability. This additional content relates to everything a hospitality employee needs to know about giving good advice to guests and hobbyists at home about wine and food.
That depends on how your course is set up on this page. If there is no exam: mention “no exam needed”. If there is an optional exam: mention that clearly (as with Wine 3).
In short:
SVH Wine 2 = basic: overview, tasting according to method, recognizing styles, basic areas/grapes/legislation.
SVH Wine 3 = advanced: more depth, broader world knowledge, often a logical step towards further education (such as vinologist).
Are you doubting between 2 and 3? Choose Wine 2 if you do not yet have a solid foundation or if you mainly want to start practically.
Hospitality sector: better wine recommendations, greater confidence at the table
Retail/supermarkets/wine shops: providing better customer service and explaining products
Wine enthusiasts: get more enjoyment out of tasting, and gain a better understanding of what you like and why
