The book

Le Nez du Vin Wine Faults 12 aromas is an indispensable tool for winemakers, oenologists, those teaching or taking wine courses, sommeliers and wine buyers. The kit is a valuable training tool for all professionals working in wine, from production to sales to service.

It is also an asset for amateurs who want to ‘take it to the next level’ and today’s consumers, who are increasingly well-informed and demanding.

This entertaining and educational initiation into wine faults is a crucial companion to the Master Kit 54 aromas, which presents characteristic aromas in wines from the Old and New Worlds.

Significantly revised and updated in 2024, the book answers the following questions: What are the main olfactory defects in wine? How can they be identified and described? Why do they occur? When and how can they be avoided? Can they be eliminated or reduced?
