Use a wine glass to smell the licorice. You’ll experience the aroma clearly, just like real wine, but without any other competing notes.
Taste the licorice in the Sensowine base. It has the structure of wine but no other flavors, so you can focus on this one note.
Don’t worry! Sensowise is not all about licorice. We have many more flavors you can experience!
Compare it to the isolated flavor and notice how licorice appears alongside other notes.
Something’s happening here… I can feel it…
Whoa! I can actually taste licorice in Syrah!
Learning wine has never been this easy and fun!
*SENSOWINE is a non-alcoholic, flavor-neutral beverage designed to enhance your ability to recognize and appreciate various added flavors. Please note that SENSOWINE is not real wine.
SENSOWISE is a unique sensory training kit that helps you train your nose and palate to recognize the key aromas and flavors in wine.
It’s designed to deepen your appreciation of wine by building real sensory skills through direct, hands-on experience with the notes found in actual wines.
With 100% natural flavor essences and a neutral, wine-like base called SENSOWINE, it offers a tasting experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Step 1: Pick a Wine Variety to Learn
Choose a grape (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay) and a flavor commonly found in it, such as black currant or pineapple.
Step 2: Add That Flavor to Our Practice Wine
Add a drop of that essence into SENSOWINE, our neutral wine-like base designed to highlight individual notes.
Step 3: Smell and Taste the Isolated Flavor
This is the “aha” moment. Experience the real note with no distractions.
Step 4: Add the Flavor to Real Wine
Drop the same essence into a wine of the same grape variety. Suddenly, the flavor you couldn’t detect before jumps out.
Step 5: Now Try the Wine Without It
Go back and taste the wine again. Most people can now recognize the note clearly. That’s palate training in action.
This isn’t just a simple trick, it’s backed by neuroscience.
Imagine asking a friend to play a random sound at a volume so low you can’t recognize it. Then they turn it up so you can clearly hear it. When they lower it back down to the original level, you notice the sound is much clearer and easier to identify.
That’s exactly what happens when you add a drop of natural fruit essence to your wine. You are amplifying the aroma or flavor signal to your brain, while all the other elements of the wine stay present.
This stronger signal helps your brain focus and form clearer connections to that specific fruit note.
By repeating this process with focused attention, your brain’s sensory system becomes sharper and faster at picking out subtle aromas. Much faster than simply smelling or tasting the fruit on its own.
It’s like turning up the volume on your sense of smell, helping you identify even the quietest notes hidden in the complex layers of wine.
2 Bottles of Base Wines – Includes SENSOWINE RED and SENSOWINE WHITE
SENSOWINE RED and SENSOWINE WHITE are special liquids made to help you learn about aromas and flavors in wine.
They are made using a secret recipe created by SENSOWISE. These formulas don’t have strong tastes or smells, so you can add your own. SENSOWINE RED has the feel of red wine, and SENSOWINE WHITE has the feel of white wine. They’re perfect for practicing because they let you focus on the aromas and flavors you add.🗓 May 2025
Introduced a custom shipping box
Tailored for maximum protection and a more premium unboxing experience.
🗓 Apr 2025
Replaced essence supplier
After our original lab, which created the initial flavors, went out of business, we began a long and demanding search for a new supplier. Replacing the essence supplier was one of our most challenging updates. It took months of testing across dozens of suppliers and hundreds of natural samples to find the right balance of flavor and aroma.
🗓 Mar 2025
Added two new flavors: Licorice and Honey
🗓 Feb 2025
Added measuring glass
For consistent pours every time. Making comparisons in your tasting log more reliable and skill-based.
🗓 Nov 2024
Redesigned packaging (after multiple damaged shipments)
To address the issue of damaged shipments, we redesigned our packaging with glass vials now protected by dual EVA foam layers. Drop-tested from 6 ft with no damage to contents or box.
🗓 Sep 2024
Replaced vanilla essence
After feedback that the previous vanilla was too sweet, we sourced a pure, high-quality vanilla that’s more representative of fine wine notes.
🗓 Jan 2024
We began refining our flavor lineup with initial testing and feedback collection for future additions.
“Sensowise got me further in my wine adventure than anything else."
“Sensowise bridges the gap between reading about flavors and experiencing them.”
“With two glasses, one with essence and one without, I could finally isolate flavors like cherry or apricot. ”
“Sensowise is an incredible resource for anyone serious about sensory mastery. Every wine student should have this at home.”

This kit is really helpful for deepening your knowledge on identifying specifc flavors in wine. I used the kit differently. I put the essence in the base that is provided and then tasted it. Then I looked for these flavors in actual wine. It’s incredible how much it helped me to realize what essenences can be observed in wine and then to actually recognise it in real wine was exciting. I feel better educated and more diverse with my understanding of wine. I highly recomment Sensowise. I want to buy a second one and then use it as a game with my wine friends. From what I can tell in the US market, this is the only product where you get to taste the different flavors as oppsed to only smelling them. I believe tasting it is what enhanced my ability to better understand and appreciate wine.

I like wine, particularly reds, and have certainly drunk my fair share! But I’ve been frustrated that, try as I might, I could not identify the wide-ranging flavors thrown out by the experts. I took a wine class where the sommelier recommended sharpening my senses by going to the grocery store and sniffing all the produce. I felt that might get my arrested! So I started looking at the plethora of wine aroma kits out there. But I wanted something that allowed me to taste as well as smell, which is, after all, a key part of drinking wine! I’d almost given up until I read a post on Reddit that mentioned the Sensorwise kit. I was sold!
My wine-drinking friends and I ended up with three kits and so far we’ve had a couple of sessions – white then red – trying out the 18 essences included. We started by adding the same quantity of different essences sequentially to a single glass of base to see how many we could continue to identify. Some flavors are strong and others more subtle so the end result depended on the order we added them. This might not be the prescribed method but we had a lot of fun and I was surprised how I could still isolate different aromas and tastes in the mix! Some essences hit you mostly with their aroma and others with their taste. So it is important to have a kit that gives you both.
We then tried adding the appropriate essences to a variety of real wines. I thought this would ruin the wine but was surprised that it did indeed bring out flavors and aromas that, in weaker form, my brain was struggling to identify. In fact, in many cases, I think it improved some of the cheaper wines!
We haven’t yet tried any of the suggested tasting competitions. We were having too much fun comparing notes and urging others to find the aromas and tastes that we each experienced. All-in-all, this is much more interesting and educational than just sniffing the multitude of vials in standard aroma-only kits.
So I would definitely recommend Sensowise to those reluctant to be caught sticking their noses into a display of strawberries at the local supermarket!

I’ve found this set to be exceptional. I had looked at other sets and originally thought I needed 100 different scents but as I read reviews I realized that quality was more important than quantity. I also discovered that the ability to taste as well as smell the concentrated essence was a much better way to discern the presence of each note. The company stands behind their product completely. Originally, I wanted to be a better drinker but now I feel like I’m on my way to be a sommelier!

I had a Sensowise experience with two friends where we competed to see who could guess the most sense accurately. Then we made little recipes that mimicked wine and tried our concoctions alongside an actual wine tasting. Not only was it really fun, but it made it much easier to pick out the different flavors within each bottle. Truly enjoyed it and look forward to sharing it with more friends.

SENSOWISE kit excels in flavor education. Covers aromas and tastes comprehensively. Helps identify subtle notes and understand wine complexity. Great for all levels!

I’ve always been fascinated by the world of wine tasting, but most courses felt intimidating or too serious, so I never took the plunge. That changed when I discovered SENSOWISE. It made the whole process feel approachable and fun. I started recognizing flavors I never noticed before, and the included booklet helped me learn about grape varieties I had never even heard of. It’s a great way to start developing your palate without feeling overwhelmed.

I say, SENSOWISE has quite revitalized my wine tasting pursuits. It’s not just instructive, it’s jolly good fun. Splendid innovation, really.

I never thought I’d say this, but Sensowise has made me passionate about wine. Now, I’m the go-to wine lady at our dinner parties.

I had no idea how much I was missing with those traditional aroma kits until I tried SENSOWISE

I ordered the SENSOWISE kit, and even though my first package showed up damaged, their support team was awesome. They had a new one at my door within two days!
This kit is so much more than just sniffing scents. It’s got flavor training and fun games that make it perfect for learning and having a blast at the same time. Great for wine nights with friends or parties. Highly recommend!
