Sensory analysis (basic course)
Wine courses

dinner
Duration 10.0
During a tasting, we all notice one or the other smell or taste, but we often lack the words to describe our sensations more precisely. Why? We only recognize the scents that we have already got to know in the past and which has been stored in our aroma memory.
In order to recognize smells and aromas, we thus have to reactivate our olfactory memory and refresh our olfactory experiences. Our wine sensory seminar provides you with the tools to do this. This enables you to taste wine with the right words at hand.
Seminar topics:
- Why can't you taste an apple? Our senses and how they work

- The smell of wine
- Practical exercises in sensory analysis III: wood, tobacco, leather, minerals
