Here we have a fab wine-tasting study pack for all wine aficionados!

Manufacturer's Blurb:

The essential learning aid for budding sommeliers and wine aficionados alike to take their blind tasting skills to the next level and evolve a sensory memory of the key markers of aromas in wine. Le Nez du Vin kits are exemplary teaching devices and we're thrilled to be able to offer our members discounts on all the Le Nez du Vin products and help them on their way to becoming better tasters.

The Le Nez du Vin 24 Aromas kits focuses on the key aromas common to white wines and common to red wines, with primary fruit, spice, floral, animal and vegetable notes. The aromas kits will last for 5 years and carry a WSET or CMS student through their entire studies.

 Le Nez Du Vin 24 Aromas Highlights:

24 individual aromas including fruits, floral, vegetable, spice, animal and roasted notes.

Aromas are guaranteed for five years so you can keep them and refer to them through your entire WSET/CMS training.

This kit comes with three booklets: one about the science of smell and taste and two about red and white wines to show how in both the New and Old Worlds, the 24 key aromas reflect grape varieties and vineyards, how and why they can be different and what markers to look for when tasting blind.

What does Le Nez Du Vin say about this product?

"The sense of smell constitutes the most important sense in the perception of a wine and produces 80% of the tasting pleasure. No doubt you have noticed that when you have a cold, you no longer taste anything.

Nevertheless, it is often difficult to identify an aroma in your wine glass. Have you already encountered the feeling that you know a smell without being able to recognise it? Nothing is more normal! In the same way that we learned to read, write, or count, smelling also requires training.

A work tool appreciated by professionals, Le Nez du Vin® functions like a game. Choose the aromas at random, smell them carefully (above all, without looking), classify them, try to name them, and verify the result. In a few weeks, for sure, you will be able to pick out, recognise and above all name these aromas.".
