No, I don't mean your personal scent. I mean your perception of odors. This means wines may not smell and taste the same to two different people. So when you like a wine someone doesn't or you don't like one they do it doesn't mean you're wrong! It just means you're different. Yes, you can even disagree with the people who taste wine for a living.Your smell and taste receptors were put there to let you know what's good to eat and what's not. Your smell also alerts you to other potential dangers. Since the days of our ancient ancestors your smell and taste receptors and the part of the brain that interprets them have become more sophisticated. How they interpret is different based on your DNA, possibly your race, age, and sex.
