Description
Sensory evaluation plays a key role in experimentation and quality control, as it enables the characteristics of a wine to be assessed as objectively as possible, and the effects of different practices to be compared. Setting up standardised conditions, collecting relevant and consensual descriptors, training and evaluating the panel, selecting sensory and statistical tests are all essential elements to be taken into account to ensure reliable and interpretable sensory analysis, a genuine tool for describing and differentiating wines, in addition to physico-chemical analyses.
