Train your sense of smell with the AROMABAR of Wine Scents Identifying a wine’s aromatic components is not only fun, it also helps you apprehend the totality of a wine’s character in all its dimensions. But what is the correct way to ‘nose’ a wine? How can the necessary skills be acquired? Genussreich Weinversand, based in Karlsruhe, Germany, now offers you a fabulous opportunity to get to know the world of wine aromas with its AROMABAR of Wine Scents products. Aromatic essences for sniffing are contained in vials that come in handsome storage cartons, organised by essential wine and aromatic varieties. The product range comprises not only a Red Wine Introductory Box and White Wine Introductory Box, but also a Barrel Aroma Box and a Wine Faults Box, each containing 12 vials of aromatic essences typically associated with the respective category. The Introductory Box with three common wine aromas is ideal for beginners who want to familiarise themselves with just a few aromas at first, whereas the Premium Edition with 60 aroma vials is intended for wine professionals, wine buffs and would-be sommeliers. All of the Aromabar boxed sets are incredibly easy to use: Just unscrew the cap of the vial, sniff it, and then try to identify and describe the aroma. You can check your wine-nosing nous in a handsome reference booklet that introduces you to the world of wine faults and aromas in a clear manner, plus gives you valuable tips about wine tasting and wine aromas. With time and a bit of practise, the AROMABAR of Wine Scents will help you identify grape varieties and their aromas so that you can competently judge a wine’s quality. It’s the perfect gift for wine aficionados – and for occasions when just another bottle of wine won’t do.
