If you’re not experiencing the exact same thing in wine as your fellow tasters when it comes to certain components, there’s a good reason for it. Our sensitivity to components such as sweet, sour and bitter differ drastically from person to person. For instance, you may find a red wine extremely tannic while your buddy doesn’t. Maybe you have a higher tolerance to the sour component or acid in wine than your neighbour. It’s all about thresholds. After a while of tasting wine with others and comparing notes, you start to recognize how your palate differs from others according to your individual sensitivity to these components. Once realized, you can compensate for them to a certain degree.
