Wine and spirit samples identical to the bottle for your remote training courses
Want to open your tasting courses to remote learning without losing any of the sensory experience, and reach students you could never have brought together in a single classroom? It is now possible with La 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 rebottles your wines and spirits into sample formats (2 cl, 4 cl, 5 cl, and 10 cl) known as La Vinotte®. Vinovae’s patented process preserves the organoleptic qualities of each wine for 3 to 12 months, depending on the format.
As a result, each of your students tastes exactly the same product, whether they are sitting in your classroom or hundreds of miles away.
This is a new way of teaching tasting: more flexible, more cost-effective, and without any compromise on quality.
Addressing your daily educational challenges
As an educational or training provider, tasting is at the core of your teaching. Whatever your challenge, we guide you toward tailored solutions.
- Do you want to offer remote training courses without compromising on tasting?
-
Would you like to introduce your students to a wider range of wines, but budget constraints and storage volume hold you back?
-
Are you looking to diversify your offerings (spirits, new formats, short modules) and modernize your brand image?
-
Would you like to recruit students beyond your geographic area, in other regions or even internationally?
Behind each of these questions, there are often the same obstacles: the bottle and the distance. While bottles are ideal in person, they are far less practical when it comes to shipping wines remotely, serving small groups without waste, or broadening your selection without logistical burdens.
The Vinotte®, the solution designed to facilitate training
Here is how the Vinovae sample format meets the constraints of a training organization:
-
We rebottle your chosen wines and spirits.
-
Remote tasting then becomes effortless: we ship samples directly to your students or to your premises, anywhere across the UK and internationally.
-
Each student tastes an identical product during every session.
-
A unique format that modernizes your catalog and sets you apart from other organizations.
-
The exact volume needed for each tasting, eliminating leftover waste at the bottom of bottles.
-
Your students no longer need to worry about sourcing bottles ahead of time or storing them at home. They receive a personalized, ready-to-use kit for their remote classes, allowing them to focus entirely on 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 genuine online training courses where tasting takes center stage: you send a tasting kit, and your students taste live alongside you from home.
We have developed wine, spirit, and beer sample sets based on the official WSET selection. Official WSET approval of this selection allows educators to provide kits that comply fully with WSET requirements.
Create courses covering spirits, international wines, rare vintages, or even wine faults (volatile phenols, mousy off-flavor, cork taint): unleash your creativity to broaden your curriculum without logistical hurdles or storage costs.
For a group of three or four students, opening a full bottle often leads to waste. With La Vinotte®, everyone tastes the exact right measure. You can diversify your selection without piling up opened bottles, and you save setup time with ready-to-use kits ready on students’ desks before they even arrive.
Engage working professionals with flexible learning formats: courses they can follow from home or at work, at their own pace and without any travel constraints.
A tasting perfectly identical to the bottle, thanks to our patented process
It is the first question any wine professional asks: does the wine in a Vinotte® remain truly true to the original bottle? The answer is yes, thanks to our patented rebottling process.
The entire operation takes place under an inert atmosphere, with dissolved oxygen levels kept below 5 ppm. This is paired with micron filtration and strict temperature and pressure controls throughout. The aromas, color, and palate structure remain completely true to the original bottle 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.

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). »
