Classes include "Sommelier Secrets," "Online Food and Wine Pairing," "Wines of Bordeaux" and others specific to certain wine regions. All classes will include a wine talk, tasting notes and presentation. You can find the full class list online.

There will be virtual happy hours and wine tastings, too. For happy hours, tastings and classes, the school says they encourage those enrolled to bring their own drinks.

The Wine School of Philadelphia was founded in 2001, and has grown to also offer beer, spirits and cocktail classes.

Philly's Wine School also will soon offer online wine certifications programs from the National Wine School. The website states, "This is the first time in history that students can earn a national recognized sommelier certification fully online."
