Tasting cost divided by 10 compared with a traditional bottle
Savings
Wine and spirit samples identical to the bottle for your remote training courses
Open your tasting courses to remote learning without losing any of the sensory experience and reach students you could never have brought together in one room? It is now possible with the Vinotte®!
Tasting is at the heart of your business, but it requires you to bring your students together in the same room or oblige them to procure the wines to be tasted themselves.
Vinovae reconditions your wines and spirits in a sample format (2 cl, 4 cl, 5 cl, and 10 cl) called La Vinotte®. Vinovae’s patented process allows the preservation of the organoleptic qualities of each wine, for 3 to 12 months depending on the Vinotte format.
Result: each of your students tastes exactly the same product, whether they are sitting in your classroom or several hundred kilometers away.
This is a new way of training in tasting: more flexible, more economical, and without any compromise on quality.
Addressing your daily educational challenges
As a training organization, tasting is at the center of your teaching. Whatever your problem, we guide you towards adapted solutions.
- Do you want to offer remote training courses without compromising on tasting?
- Would you like to let your students taste more references, but the budget and bottle storage volume hold you back?
- Are you looking to diversify your offer (spirits, new formats, short modules) and modernize your organization’s image?
- Would you like to recruit students beyond your geographic area, in other regions, or even abroad?
Behind each of these questions, there are often the same obstacles: the bottle and the distance. While the bottle is ideal in person, it is much less adapted when it comes to shipping wines remotely, serving small numbers of students in class without waste, or diversifying references without logistical constraints.
The Vinotte®, the solution designed to facilitate training
Here is how the Vinovae sample format meets the constraints of a training organization:
- We recondition the desired wines and spirits.
- Remote tasting then becomes possible. We ship the samples directly to your students or to your premises, anywhere in UK and internationally.
- Each student tastes a strictly identical product, at each session.
- A unique format that modernizes your catalog and sets you apart from other organizations.
- The right volume served for each tasting, without wasted bottle bottoms.
- Your students no longer need to anticipate the purchase of wine bottles to follow the course on the day, nor the storage of these bottles. They receive a personalized, ready-to-use kit to follow remote courses and can thus focus on their learning.
How to use the Vinotte® in your training program?
The format opens up concrete uses for trainers who want to make a difference.
Build real online training courses where tasting has its place: you send a box of samples, your students taste live, during the course, from home.
We have developed boxes of wines, spirit, and beers that are based on the official WSET selection. The official WSET validation on this selection allows training organizations to provide a box perfectly compliant with WSET requirements to their students.
Create courses around spirits, foreign wines, rare vintages, or even wine faults (volatile phenols, mousy taint, cork taint…): let your imagination run wild to broaden your themes without logistical constraints or storage costs.
For a group of three or four students, opening an entire bottle can sometimes mean waste. With the Vinottes®, everyone tastes the right dose. You vary the references without multiplying the bottles and you save time with ready-to-use boxes to place on the students’ table before they arrive.
Reach professionals in their posts with flexible formats: to be followed from home or at work, without travel constraints and at their own pace.
A tasting perfectly identical to the bottle, thanks to our patented process
This is the question that every serious trainer asks: is the product in Vinotte® truly faithful to the bottle? The answer is yes, thanks to our patented innovation.
The reconditioning is done under an inert atmosphere, with an oxygen level maintained below 5 ppm. In addition, there is micron filtration and precise control of temperature and pressure during the operation. The nose, color, and structure on the palate thus remain faithful to those of the original bottle, and this for several months.
Vinovae is the sole holder of this patented process, which means you offer your students an experience they won’t find anywhere else.

They are already training with the Vinotte®
Many have already trusted Vinovae! Why not you?
« The collaboration with Vinovae has been a real asset in the design of our Les Sensorielles educational kits.
Their expertise, their ability to understand our scientific objectives and their responsiveness have enabled the development of innovative, reliable and perfectly adapted training tools for the needs of stakeholders in the industry.
These kits are used as part of training or technical days or on the sidelines of conferences to illustrate the themes addressed with concrete examples (wine tasting). It is always more meaningful to taste and appropriate the aromas than just to see them on a ppt.
The kits are also sold to industry stakeholders (training or teaching centers, inter-professional organizations, agricultural chambers, winegrowers). »
