TASTERPLACE - 12 Red Wine Aroma Kit

The Red Wine Aromas collection contains a publication and 12 aroma samples to smell.

The publication provides the essential information to understand some of the most important characteristics of Red Wine, how to do a wine tasting, what aromas are present in high-quality products and how to train your sense of smell to recognize them. For example, some Red Wines may present smells of violet, and others of green pepper, both aromas difficult to identify for a non-expert.

The 12 aroma samples help you train your sense of smell while having fun. Try smelling the samples in a blind smell test and measure the progress of your sense of smell. Once you have memorized a particular aroma, it will be much easier to identify it, in its delicate forms, in a Red Wine you taste.

Aroma samples you can smell include 12 aromas frequently present in red wines:

1. Raspberry

2. Strawberry

3. Cherry

4. Blackcurrant

5. Blackberry

6. Violet

7. Rose

8. Green pepper

9. Black pepper

10. Licorice

Why choose TasterPlace

At TasterPlace we offer a new tasting experience to help you get to know the food and drink products you love the most.

Tasting is about training your senses, tasting and comparing different products to each other to identify the unique differences that set them apart, often in a subtle but noticeable way. Tasting can be intimidating at first, but it is something that everyone can successfully accomplish with a little guidance and some practice. At TasterPlace we incorporate real-life tasting tools and the information you need to know into a convenient and affordable product, and deliver it to your home for you to enjoy alone, with your family, or with your friends.

We begin this journey into the world of tasting by examining olfactory aromas, because our nose is the most important tool we have when it comes to tasting. In fact, smell is the first characteristic we perceive when we bring food to our mouth, and subsequently, the aromas that develop in the mouth and are perceived through the retronasal sense of smell, contribute to producing what we call the flavor of a product.

About Tasterplace

Years ago, when we first approached the world of tasting as amateurs, we were a little bewildered: when a sommelier or instructor commented on the numerous aromas of a wine (e.g. those of rose, pepper, licorice or wood), we felt uncomfortable trying to distinguish them ourselves in a product and could therefore only declare whether or not we liked the bouquet or the overall taste of the product. During a tasting of extra virgin olive oil, while we appreciated the pleasant smell of “olive oil,” we could not perceive particular details such as artichoke or yellow apple. These difficulties were significant in the absence of specific skills.

Three years later, TasterPlace was created to help people develop these skills in an easy and fun way. We provide tools to make tasting easier and more accessible by training the sense of smell. Olfactory training is a new way to learn about your subtle preferences and ultimately helps decide how to successfully pair food and drink. Discover our AROMAS collections from TasterPlace.
