Don,
A good friend of mine and casual wine drinker has been developing a
"molecular nose" over the past 5 years or so. It has obvious
applications in the screening for explosives or chemical weapon agents,
but he's also shown its ability to detect TCA and to distinguish various
wines from each other.
