Step 4: Once you have gotten through the bottles, test yourself without looking at the label. Open the bottle or jar, inhale, and name it before looking at the label! If you have one of the larger kits, 54 or 24 aromas, we don't recommend trying to learn all of these aromas in one day, but rather choosing 4-6 per day and training yourself over time. The Le Nez du Vin wine aroma kits are the world’s ultimate wine education kit! Used by winery staff and merchants worldwide, you’ll learn to distinguish the type of wine, its age, components, and even the type of soil in which the grapes were grown! They’re great for hosting a wine-tasting party, and they’ll also help develop your sense of smell and ability to recognise and describe the aroma of different wines.

These are typical aromas in white and red wines from France and worldwide. They give us an indication of the wine’s origin, the grape variety, the vineyard, and the winemaking. Keeping these aromas in mind helps establish an accurate and coherent vocabulary to stimulate our appreciation of fine wines further. TIP: Professional tasters usually use a system of taking 2 short sniffs followed by a longer slower sniff. The short sniffs help to ‘prime your nose’ and the longer sniff helps you ‘observe’ the aroma. The 5 S's of wine tasting are: see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor. Depending on which one you choose, a wine tasting kit can help teach you how to taste wine like a professional or provide a more casual, fun environment for sampling unique varietals. Smell the aromas, try to identify them, and let yourself and your friends be drawn into the pleasure of the game. You will soon find that Le Nez du Vin has effortlessly developed your sense of smell and empowered you with a common vocabulary to describe, understand and better enjoy wine.
