The folks over at Aromaster have created an extensive kit aimed to help educate wine enthusiasts about the variety of aromas coming from their wines, which will further improve one’s tasting abilities. Master Wine Aroma Kit was developed by sommeliers to be viewed as a library of wine scents. Use the library as an educational tool or a friendly game to test your nose.
The kit combines the 88 most common scents found world wide in sparkling, white, red, and sweet wines, a manual of how to appropriately use the aromas, the Wine Aroma Wheel Booklet, a board game, and four metal tokens designed by artist Yves Lemay. The aromas are split into the following groupings: fruity (white or red wine), floral, vegetal, mineral, yeast, malolactic fermentation, maturation in oak barrel, aged white wine, aged red wine, and wine faults. The Wine Aroma Wheel Booklet is a visual representation of the most common aromas found in wine; this will become your greatest companion during tastings. The board game allows players to travel across wine producing regions of the world and tests their ability to appropriately identify wine aromas. Use the four metal tokens as game pieces.
The Master Wine Aroma kit really has thought of everything—educational, fun, and some friendly competition! Check out Aromaster’s other aroma based products covering cognac, whisky, beer, sake, coffee, and cigar and become an all-around aroma master!
