[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, the experts with their oh-so-sophisticated palates can't tell the difference either.  https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/the_most_infamous_study_on_wine_tasting.html

That's a stupid study.  A) they were students, not wine lovers or professionals and B) the names given to tasting notes are subjective, but tasting notes definitely are not.  there actually is an objective wine aroma chart created by UC Davis researchers.  The aromas in wine relate to specific organic compounds.  This is pretty straight-forward sensory chemistrry.  https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-topics/wine-educational-questions/davis-aroma-wheel/.  The fact that people's description of the aromas varies based on whether they think it is red or white (other sensory information) does not mean that wine doesn't have specific aromas.

You don't appreciate wine.  That's fine, but that doesn't mean nobody does.  Similar to how I don't really GAF about poetry, but I know there's pedestrian and sophisticated poetry:  Shel Silverstein is not the same as Sylvia Plath.  [/quote]
