Smell Memory Separates Wine Tasters from the Rest (2002/11/04)

盛名之下其實(shí)難副 品酒專(zhuān)家原在故弄玄虛 (2002/11/04)

Smell Memory Separates Wine Tasters from the RestThe honeyed phrases flow like the wines they describe, but the truth is that wine experts often use a torrent of language to disguise the fact they can't always put a name to the aroma they are smelling.

Those wine buffs who say "you'll be impressed by its berried impudence" or urge us to "bask in its sumptuous oakiness" are actually no better at getting the right description than any other drinker, New Scientist magazine said Wednesday.

But the magazine said wine experts do have a strong memory for smells, which is crucial to their appreciation of the grape.

Researchers in New Zealand tested the ability of 11 wine experts and 11 novices to recognize and name 12 individual chemicals that are components of wine aromas.

They were then given an additional 12 samples and asked both groups to name them and say whether they were among the original 12.

"The wine experts proved just as inept as the novices at naming odors," the magazine said.

"But the experts did excel in recognizing whether an odor had been repeated -- a task that draws on their memory of smell itself, rather than their verbal ability." it added.

The ability to remember the experience of various wines is crucial, Anthony Dias Blue, wine editor of Bon Appetit magazine told New Scientist. That, he said, is just a matter of practice.

你能想象嗎,當(dāng)一串串天花亂墜的專(zhuān)業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)從那些品酒專(zhuān)家口中說(shuō)出的時(shí)候,他們只是在試圖用語(yǔ)言來(lái)遮掩一個(gè)事實(shí):原來(lái)他們和常人無(wú)異,并不能確切對(duì)所鑒別的葡萄美酒說(shuō)出個(gè)所以然來(lái)。

那些品酒專(zhuān)家通常會(huì)這樣故弄玄虛地說(shuō)道"這種漿果口味的酒味道十分獨(dú)特,為你帶來(lái)味覺(jué)上的沖擊",或者"這種酒讓你徜徉在濃郁的橡果香味之中"。但是英國(guó)《新科學(xué)家》雜志10月30日刊登文章說(shuō),事實(shí)上,這些品酒專(zhuān)家并不比普通人"厲害"多少,同樣不能準(zhǔn)確形容出葡萄酒的味道。

不過(guò)該雜志文章同時(shí)也說(shuō),品酒專(zhuān)家倒是的確對(duì)美酒的氣味有著超強(qiáng)的記憶力,而這對(duì)他們鑒賞葡萄酒是至關(guān)重要的。

Smell Memory Separates Wine Tasters from the Rest新西蘭的研究者對(duì)11名品酒專(zhuān)家和11名品酒初學(xué)者的鑒賞能力進(jìn)行了測(cè)試,讓他們分別識(shí)別形成葡萄酒香的12種成份。

隨后,研究者又讓被測(cè)試者識(shí)別另外的12種葡萄酒樣品,并讓他們說(shuō)出先前的12種葡萄酒里是否包含有后來(lái)的12種。

該文章中說(shuō):"試驗(yàn)證明,在味道識(shí)別方面,品酒專(zhuān)家和品酒新手一樣并沒(méi)有什么過(guò)人之處。"

"但是在試驗(yàn)中,品酒專(zhuān)家的確能夠在兩組葡萄酒中準(zhǔn)確地識(shí)別出相同的味道。這當(dāng)然是有賴(lài)于他們對(duì)氣味本身的記憶力,而非僅僅是口頭上的功夫了。"

法國(guó)《好胃口》雜志的葡萄酒欄目編輯安東尼·迪亞斯·布盧說(shuō),記住各種葡萄酒的口感對(duì)于鑒賞葡萄酒是非常重要的。這是需要通過(guò)實(shí)踐才能掌握的技藝。
