Please note that I make a very definite distinction between that and the pleasure derived from drinking the wine; that is a subjective measure and is certainly dependent on a number of factors not necessarily related to the wine itself.
So you're entirely dismissing the study. Good to know. Back to the topic of the thread, maybe?
