(1888PressRelease) May 10, 2024 - Wine expert Charlie Leary, PhD, is pleased to announce that the second edition of Leary’s Global Wineology: A Guide to Wine Studies, Mentorships, and Scholarships is now in the finishing stages of publication by Hibiscus Panama SA.

The first edition, published in late 2022, received universal praise from reviewers. The second edition is completely updated, including the addition of new wine education courses, wine certifications, and wine courses.

It includes online programs and free courses. It will also list the top 3 innovative wine education programs, the best programs for sommeliers, and new developments in wine education. It will be available in a print edition through Amazon as well as in an eBook format.

The first edition received the following reviews:

• an organized and comprehensive resource that will be of interest to wine economists involved in wine education at all levels. The book covers programs across various budgets and purposes, encompassing both academic and non-academic institutions in multiple countries. It is a valuable reference that librarians, as well, should consider acquiring . . . Tim Matz, Linfield University in Wine Studies
• "This groundbreaking book on wine education will be useful to business owners as well as wine enthusiasts. When I bought my wine business, I looked far and wide for guidance on classes or programs to strengthen my wine knowledge. Nothing existed. It was an arduous task to figure out which course to take amongst the so many offered! Charlie Leary has now filled that gap. It will be useful to me not only in assessing candidates for employment, but also as a resource in training my staff. This guide is indispensable for anyone in the wine trade, writ large, and has lots of information of use to the general wine-drinking public who want to learn more." Sajive Jain, Owner of Bottle Barn, Sonoma, California
• He smartly leads in with something of a “cheat sheet” for those who want the quick answers such as: best value, most vibrant, most recognized, and a few others. This is a solid round up and works to get everyone on an even footing in terms of the most immediate options within reach. . . . A very complete book of which I know of no other like it and if you’re looking to get started in wine or want to further your education in another direction, I’d recommend picking it up.
