Some overseas importers require certification that wine has been tasted to be free of faults.

To help industry meet these requirements the AWRI is now providing a service to screen wines for the presence of eight common wine faults.

The certificate may also be beneficial for other supplier/client relationships or companies seeking independent sensory evaluation of their products.

A panel trained to detect these attributes provides information about the presence of these faults in a wine. Control samples are used to ensure high quality data is produced.

A certificate detailing the presence or absence of each of the specific attributes is provided.

A sample Technical Sensory Report can be found here and a printable PDF fact sheet can also be accessed here.
