Vita viner och champagne har ett rykte om sig att vara komplicerade att beskriva. Rött är lite enklare att ta sig an: choklad, bär, lite läder och man känner sig ganska hemma. Men vitt? Där dyker det upp saker som kvitten, kaprifol, farmors linneskåp o

White wines and champagne have a reputation for being tricky to describe. Red is a bit easier to tackle: chocolate, berries, a touch of leather and you feel pretty at home. But white? That's where things like quince, honeysuckle, your grandmother's linen cupboard and the westerly breeze that blew along the beach in the summer of 1982 start popping up, and suddenly you're sitting quietly at the table hoping someone else speaks first. That is exactly the problem this set solves.

Twelve bottles of aromas commonly found in white wines and champagne: lemon, grapefruit, quince, apple, peach, apricot, banana, hazelnut, honey, rose, honeysuckle and eucalyptus. With an accompanying booklet that explains what you are actually smelling. Train at home, hold your own at the wine tasting and stop guessing.
