You are what you eat, so your diet can
affect your perception of wine, or at least certain components of it. For
example, if spicy food is regular part of your daily diet, it could hamper your
identification of spice in wine, as well as numb your palate to other
complexity. In fact your taste buds could be so burned out that your
appreciation of subtle spices and other elements will never be realized. The
alternate could happen if you regularly eat a bland diet. Your sensitivity to
strong flavours and components could be extremely intense. A fatty diet might
rob you of your appreciation of body in wine and a highly acidic diet could
obscure balance. Palate training and conditioning can certainly help alleviate
these potential problems.
