Bill would enhance enology, viticulture education

A measure that would align state laws affecting community college and university programs in enology, viticulture and wine business was among the first to be heard in committee this legislative session.

House Bill 1004 would authorize WSU to pursue a state license allowing underage students to taste but not consume wine as part of their instruction. Students at community colleges already have that opportunity.
