How do different wines taste? by: Carl Tashian
What is the relationship between wine varieties and flavor components? This visualization attempts to show the strength of these relationships. I culled descriptive flavor words from over 5,000 published wine tasting notes written between 1995-2000 in a major Australian wine magazine. Written by Carl Tashian for Visualizing the Five Senses, a class at ITP @ NYU. www.tashian.com
Just click on one of the interactive wine categories below and watch the visualisation show you the flavours, with varying curved line widths according to their strength in the wine, that are associated with Sauvignon Blanc in this case. Excellant. All Reds, All Whites, All Fortified, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon & Riesling.
