Wine Technologist Trainee

Key Responsibilities:

• You will follow the entire value chain of wine production, from grape to finished product, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the process.
• You will assist in quality control and assurance of our wines, ensuring they meet the highest standards.
• You will learn about the application of modern technologies and equipment in wine production, staying up-to-date with industry developments.
• You will participate in tastings and trainings to enhance your sensory knowledge and develop your palate.

In the dual study program in beverage technology, you will combine training as a wine technologist with an academic university degree at Geisenheim University. The study phases at the university and the practical phases in vocational training will alternate.

The program focuses on the entire value chain from production to marketing of high-quality liquid foods, including raw material acceptance, processing, process technology, testing, labeling, and marketing of the finished beverages.

The modules cover topics such as beverage chemistry, microbiology, process engineering, water, soft drinks, brewing, fruit and vegetable juices, oenology, raw material science, sensory evaluation, and marketing. In projects, such as beer, sparkling wine, or spirits, you will apply your theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.

By combining training and study, the training time is shortened, allowing you to develop your skills and knowledge more efficiently.
