Wine 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 fractionalizes your wines into sample formats (50 ml and 100 ml) known as La Vinotte®. Vinovae’s patented process preserves the organoleptic qualities of each wine for 6 to 12 months, depending on the format.
As a result, each of your students tastes exactly the same wine, 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 organization, tasting is at the center 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 selection of wines, but budget constraints and bottle storage hold you back?
- Are you looking to diversify your offerings (new formats, short modules) and modernize your school’s image?
- Would you like to enroll students beyond your local area, in other states or even across the country?
Behind each of these questions, there are often the same obstacles: the bottle and the distance. While full bottles are ideal in person, they are far less practical when it comes to shipping wines remotely, serving small classes without waste, or broadening your curriculum without logistical burdens.
The Vinotte®, the solution designed to facilitate training
Here is how the Vinovae sample format meets the constraints of an educational organization:
-
- We rebottle your selected wines using our patented fractionalization process.
- Remote tasting then becomes effortless: we ship samples directly to your students or to your facility, anywhere across the US 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 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 authentic online courses where tasting takes center stage: you send a tasting kit, and your students taste live alongside you from home.
We develop wine sample sets based on official certification curricula (such as WSET). Official alignment allows wine schools to provide kits that fully comply with certification requirements.
Create courses covering international regions, rare vintages, or even wine faults (volatile phenols, mousy off-flavor, TCA/cork taint): unleash your creativity to broaden your curriculum without logistical hurdles or storage costs.
For a group of three or four students, opening an entire 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 waiting on students’ desks before they arrive.
Engage working professionals with flexible learning formats: courses they can follow from home or at work, at their own pace and without travel constraints.
A tasting perfectly identical to the bottle, thanks to our patented process
This is the question every wine educator asks: does the wine in a Vinotte® remain truly faithful to the bottle? The answer is yes, thanks to our patented innovation.
Rebottling is carried out under an inert atmosphere, with dissolved oxygen levels maintained below 5 ppm. In addition, micron filtration alongside precise control of temperature and pressure throughout the operation ensures total stability. The aromas, color, and palate structure remain completely true to the original bottle for several months.
Vinovae holds the exclusive patent for this fractionalization technology, ensuring you offer your students an authentic sensory experience they will not find anywhere else.

They are already using the Vinottes® in their training programs
Many are already trusting 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). »
