Quantitative Descriptive Analysis" is a methodology for analytical food sensory testing. A descriptive (descriptive) sensory analysis aims to identify and quantify sensory product characteristics by means of an objective description of human perception and to uncover relationships between the chemical-physical components and the sensory characteristics of this product by trained persons. The intensity of certain properties or characteristics is measured using an intensity scale. Such a quantitative descriptive analysis, also known as profile analysis or profile testing, also makes it possible to graphically visualise the differences between several products with defined properties.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
