“Making sensory work for you!”
Sensory evaluation methods can provide many benefits to the wine industry. The outcome of sensory testing can be viewed as a way to reduce risk in decision making or assess the value of methods to enhance wine composition. With proper implementation of controls, careful selection of panelists, effective training (when necessary), utilization of appropriate sensory methods and proper statistical interpretation, sensory evaluation can provide a basis on which winemaking decisions can be made.
