An ongoing playful competition between NC beer and wine students, ended with a trophy and bragging rights for Team Beer on February 22.<\/p>\n
The sold-out Caps, Corks and Forks dinner event drew over 200 guests to the Student Commons where an elegant five-course meal became a ‘battleground’ between Team Wine and Team Beer – comprised of students from the \u00a0Winery and Viticulture Technician<\/a> and Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management<\/a>\u00a0programs, respectively. This marked the 18th<\/sup> round for the event, which has been a backdrop of a playful rivalry between the College’s beer and wine since 2012.<\/p>\n Each course was presented with a beverage selection from both teams and guests voted for their favourite pairing following each course with either a cap or a cork.<\/p>\n Suspense and drama were set on high, as each team took turns in the lead throughout the evening until, ultimately, Team Beer trickled ahead of Team Wine in the fifth and final round 525: 453.<\/p>\n
