Oenology

In ATITD, Oenology is the study of wine, specifically it's the skill of tasting many different kinds of wine. Perception is awarded at 7 Oenology and 49 Oenology. The flavors you can taste are divided into a number Primary, Secondary and Specific flavors. As your skill rises, you will be able to identify flavors more specifically. For example, my primary grapes are "Fruity", but it is a combination of Fruity (Fig), Dried Fruit (Raisin), and Tropical Fruit (Banana).

How to Raise your Oenology

There is only one way to raise your Oenology skill... drink more wine. Whether you make that wine yourself, trade for it with established vintners, or simply attend other people's wine tasting events, the key is to drink LOTS of wine. To get to Oenology 100 you'll have to consume 300-600 bottles of wine typically.

It all tastes "Fruity". When am I going to taste something else besides "Fruity"?

Fruity is the largest class of flavors on the wheel. It includes the subtastes Dried Fruit, Tropical Fruit, Berry, Tree Fruit, Citrus, and Odd Fruit. I picked up my first specific fruity taste (Prune) at Oenology 22. I picked up the primary tastes (Tree, Tropical, Dried, etc) in the 30's. At Oenology 161, I still can't taste the primary flavor of my local grapes as Citrus instead of the specific Lemon.

Can you get more than one point from a wine?

You can't get more than one point on a specific bottle of wine. But you can get multiple points from a single vintage by spreading the drinking over time, being sure to drink wine from other sources in between. For example, one of my early wines is Fruity Woody Vegetative. I've gotten points from the same mix of grapes, bottled at different times, because each successive time, I've picked up addition flavors... Fruity Resinous Vegetative, Fruity Resinous Fresh, Fruity Oak Fresh, Fig Oak Fresh, Fig Oak Mint.

I just want to get 7 points so I can get +1 Perception. What can I do?

I have developed a product that consists of 10 bottles of wine, each with a different combination of primary flavors, and tested to give everyone in attendance, Oenology 7 or higher, even starting at zero. The pack contains wines of these flavors: Fruity, Fruity Oxidized, Oxidized Fruity, Fruity Earthy, Fruity Vegetative, Fruity Woody, Fruity Floral, Floral, Woody, and Floral Woody Fruity (or a similar variety, depending on availability of appropriate grapes). Makes a great wedding gift. Contact me ingame to arrange a trade.

How my Oenology Skill has Progressed

This table includes the flavor I tasted from (almost) every Oenology point I have recieved. I started using Fine Wine Glasses at Oenology 164. And although I don't drink exclusively from fine glasses, most of my points after 164 were probably enhanced by the glass.
