The Peugeot Tasting Aid makes it
easy to organize a wine tasting.

(observe, smell, taste). The accompanying booklet of descriptive terms
offers complementary technical explanations on how to taste, grape
varieties and wine tasting temperatures. The notepad contains several
removable tasting counters. These counters allow users to keep a record
of the different wines they have tasted. The bottle sleeve allows the bottle
to be hidden, preventing the tasters from being influenced by the bottle
label. The tasting aid is an excellent tool to help participants learn how
to taste wine and improve their wine knowledge.
