Fruits Wines contain many different types of fruit as well as the traditional grapes. Having a variety of fruits on hand, including cherries, plums, pears, limes, lemons, strawberries, blackberries, apples and more, can help tasters to identify those that are present in the wines being tasted.
Herbs, Minerals and Flowers Many wines have mineral, floral or herbal flavours. Bringing in items such as asparagus, mint, stones, earth, green pepper and red roses can help discover which are bringing out the flavours and aromas of the wine.
Spices, Sweet and Savoury Spicy, sweet and savoury elements that can be present in many wines may include vanilla, cinnamon, oak, tobacco, toffee, honey, liquorice and chocolate. Having samples of these at a sensory wine tasting can therefore assist in identifying notes of these elements.
