He said the movement of wine through the mouth and alcohol-infused air through the nose causes the brain to conjure up a flavour. The most important part of this &#8220;brain activation&#8221; comes when we breath out wine-infused air after taking in a sniff, he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The molecules in the wine don&#8217;t have taste or flavour, but when they stimulate our brains, the brain creates flavour the same way it creates colour,&#8221; he said. The brain builds a picture of colours in the mind using information from the eyes about how light hits the objects around us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drink wine with care.
