Wine Aroma Kits or DIY References: How to Practise Your Nose

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

You recognise the smell immediately. Finding its name takes longer. That small gap is a useful reason to practise with aroma references, and it does not require an expensive box of vials.

Start with a few safe, familiar food ingredients if you want to connect smells with words you already know. Consider a purchased, labelled aroma kit if having the same organised reference set available matters enough to justify its delivered cost. Neither choice, by itself, establishes how well you will identify aromas in wine.
