diversifying

People say I always take things that are unrelated to my microbiology degree. I would like to call it as called 'diversifying' and 'exploring'. So I enrolled in NUFS 402 (Nutrition and Food Sciences 402- Brewing, Enology, and Food Fermentation) with expectations of becoming a good speaker, probably fantasizing a bit about being in food production industry. So far I've tasted the grape juice used to make pignot grigio (white wine) and shiraz (red wine), and I'm looking forward to the cheese and meat tasting later in the course. If you are wondering no, it is not haram for me to take this course even though it involves alcohol (I checked with an ustad already) and I'll be skipping the wine and beer tasting for sure.
