"Learning how to evaluate and communicate sensory experiences is crucial in the training of sommeliers and other restaurant personnel. Established sensory training methods are focused on analytical training when evaluating sensory experiences. Analogical methods, however, use analogies, metaphors and practical examples to describe and evaluate sensory experiences. This study aim to investigate whether practical analogical training in Dialogue seminars, involving reflection, verbalization and the exploration of concepts, could be used as an educational complement to analytical training.
