Scientists have discovered tiny organisms that live in soil can influence the flavour of your glass of vino.
"What they found is there's a lot of difference based on a special microbe or a yeast that actually is found not only in the soil but that grows on the surface of the grape and that can make a huge difference in the taste," says Dr Michelle Dickinson of the University of Auckland.
"Tiny genetic difference in that same yeast because of its location can make a huge difference…enough that you can subtly taste the difference in the wine."
