 Why learn about wine faults and taints?

I think it's important as a consumer and also as a wine professional, to be able to identify those faults and taints that can really spoil your wine tasting experience.

This masterclass is for you if ...

  • You have felt you had to accept the wine served to you at a restaurant, although it tasted weird;
  • You heard about cork taint but have no idea what it is and what it smells like;
  • You are interested in drinking well made natural wines but want to avoid the funky ones.

This is an advanced level class, better suited if you are...

  • A graduate from InnoVinum Academy - PATH program
    Level One;
  • A wine lover enrolled in a wine certification program or a postgraduate curriculum in enology (or have graduated already;)
  • A wine lover wanting to be aware and better prepared as a customer.

By the end of this masterclass,
you will feel more confident and prepared
to make educated decisions on whether a wine is faulty or not.

I found these videos about faults and taints amazingly educational. I'm glad that you put this program together.
I think it makes us more aware and informed. It also helps us to educate people in the bars and restaurants we regularly go and visit.
This type of training allows us to give feedback in an educated way. Thank you!!

Wine Faults and Taints, Masterclass

This is an excellent source of skills in additon to the Aroma Path I and II training modules. I do highly recommend this masterclass. It complements the knowledge of Aroma perceptions in Wine by including the knowledge of Faults and Taints that could also be perceived in wines. Definitely an excellent module to complete.
