How good are our taste buds?

Asked by inunsure (423points) August 11th, 2012

Sometimes the placebo effect can make some people think some wine tastes better than others just because of it’s fancy bottle and other times people can pick up on a lemon not being used in a dish, so is there any good information out there to give me a good sense at how good a normal person’s taste buds are?

What is taste and how different it has to be before we can tell the difference?
