To go on from here to associating particular flavours with individual grapes, countries, regions, or even individual winemakers takes time and, above all, practice. It is an effort that most people never make. It will never come just by drinking, however much you swallow. It will come only with deliberate awareness; each time pausing for a second to concentrate, to sniff, sip, think, and memorise before settling down to relaxed enjoyment of the glass. How you seize it, how you approach it, and what you expect from it depends on your upbringing.
