"New Wine Fundamentals" Conference with the Master of Wine Tim Hanni and Virginia Utermohlen MD
THE NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITY: UPSCALE PRODUCTS FOR ‘SWEET’ CONSUMERS, WHO ARE TASTE SENSITIVE AND PREFER SWEETER WINES
taste (and smell) sensitivity and why differences in sensitivity matter
Our mission: to explore and introduce new ways to understand, embrace, engage, and cultivate all wine consumers, in order to create a more sustainable and healthy wine industry.
Participants will leave with a means to conduct consumer-centered wine education and training programs that result in better understanding and retention of fundamental wine information using a newly structured, flavor-based learning system
The event will address beverage preferences, attitudes, & behavior of ‘sweet’ vs.‘tolerant’ wine consumers

What is taste?
Strictly speaking, taste is made up of the sensations coming from the mouth, and smell those from the nose, but our brains assign both taste and smell to the mouth.Therefore we commonly call the result “taste,” though “flavor” may be the more correct term.
What is taste sensitivity?
Taste sensitivity refers to the intensity with which you perceive tastes and flavors.
We differ considerably in what we each can taste and smell, and in how intense different tastes and smells are to us. People with high taste sensitivity experience tastes, and usually smells, too, as being very strong. They are also able to distinguish individual flavors in a mixture very well.
