The growing technological revolution brings with it a speed in natural processes that corrupts their traditional development. The wine industry is one of the sectors that must take the greatest care when developing their products, since from maceration and fermentation to bottling, they require demanding protocols that must take into account enological microbiology. The experts in this area, who will analyze its composition, are highly qualified nutritionists with a strong background in the application of new optimal techniques for the study of its properties.

For this reason TECH has developed a Professional master’s degree that addresses the compounds of grapes and wine, as well as the multiple analytical techniques that include the chemical composition of the grape must, organic acids, polyphenols and sugars, among many other constituent elements. This program is aimed at nutrition professionals and other specialists who wish to learn more about the aromas and volatile compounds in wine, as well as its structure and classification according to each typology, whether white, rosé or red. 

In addition, TECH has developed the qualification in a 100% online option to enable working professionals who are committed to digital learning, allowing them to balance their studies with their private life, in order to be able to attend the program. In turn, TECH has carefully selected a team of experts in Microbiology, Viticulture and Enology to develop and teach the knowledge of this Professional master’s degree. In this way, from the first content module, students will enjoy audiovisual and additional materials that make the program a unique and enriching experience with which to prepare themselves to develop their functions as nutritionists in the winemaking sector.
