Section II.
Evaluation of the Sinner Review

1.

Sensory preconditions The following preconditions are checked for JA/NO decision (to the letters a to e, whether "typical for"); in this case, NO means the exclusion from the further test:

a)

specified region or region Area,

b)

Predicate; if not typical for another predicate, the wine may be approved for the same;

c)

Grape variety; but if not typical, the product may be authorised without indication of a vine variety,

d)

color,

e)

clarity,

f)

Mousseux in the case of sparkling wine and semi-sparkling wine.

2.

Sensory test characteristics and quality

a)

Point scale

Points	Intervals	Quality Description
5	4.50-5.00	Excellent
4	3.50-4.49	very good
3	2.50-3.49	good
2	1.50-2.49	satisfactory
1	0.50-1.49	not satisfactory
0		no evaluation, that is to say exclusion of the product

b)

Sensory test characteristics and possibilities of point allocation

Audit Property	Possibilities of allocation of points
Odour	5.0	4.5	4.0	3.5	3.0	2.5	2.0	1.5	1.0	0.5	0
Taste	5.0	4.5	4.0	3.5	3.0	2.5	2.0	1.5	1.0	0.5	0
Harmony	5.0	4.5	4.0	3.5	3.0	2.5	2.0	1.5	1.0	0.5	0

Harmony is the interaction of smell, taste and sensory preconditions. Their assessment may differ from smell and taste by a maximum of 1.0 point. If smell and taste are rated differently, then the higher score is valid. Each test feature is to be individually evaluated and its score is to be written down. After evaluation of all test characteristics, the recorded scores may still be corrected. All of the test features are equally important (weighting factor 1).

c)

Minimum scores and quality-The minimum score for each individual test feature is 1.5. The total number of points divided by 3 for the smell, taste and harmony results in the quality. The quality number must be at least 1.50 for all products.
