Recent research has shown that rats possess an impressive ability to distinguish between wine varieties, specifically Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Conducted with a group of nine male rats to eliminate the variability of female olfactory senses linked to their reproductive cycle, the study found that the rodents were more inclined to select familiar wines over unfamiliar ones. This research suggests that nonhuman mammals can differentiate complex odors, indicating potential applications beyond the wine industry.
According to a study published in February, a group of nine rats were trained to distinguish between different varieties of wine, indicating their remarkable olfactory prowess.
The scientists discovered that the rats were more likely to press the lever for novel wines of the same variety, demonstrating their ability to discern complex odors.
