Tahiirah Habibi Announces New Wine Education Platform Centering Culture Over Gatekeeping

NEW YORK - Jan. 7, 2026 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY – Tahiirah Habibi, renowned international wine educator and founder of The Hue Society, announces the launch of two new educational initiatives designed to dismantle industry intimidation and center cultural context in wine learning.

Beginning this month, Habibi will debut the Intro to Wine Masterclass alongside Wine-ish, a monthly membership community hosted on the Skool platform. Both offerings aim to provide a universal framework for wine education that prioritizes lived experience and cultural memory over traditional, rigid European standards.

"For too long, wine education has told people their palates were wrong before they ever had a chance to start," says Habibi. "I built the education system that didn't exist—one that replaces intimidation with understanding."

Intro to Wine Masterclass: Wine Without Intimidation

The live virtual masterclass will take place on February 1, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. The curriculum is designed to help students taste with confidence, navigate wine lists without anxiety, and understand how personal background shapes flavor perception.

Wine-ish: A Community for the Culture (https://www.skool.com/wine-ish-3613/about?ref=171c24ef00c...)

Members receive live classes, replays, cultural aroma tools, and food pairing guidance specifically rooted in Black, African, and Caribbean cuisines. While the platform centers Black culture, it is an open community welcoming beginners and professionals of all backgrounds.
