Especially when it comes to corksniffers. This just in:
"What took them so long to think of this? 'Most wineries rely on the human nose [to detect out-of-place odors],' said the vintner of the Australian boutique wine Linnaea, 'but that is time-consuming, costly, and nowhere as reliable as Belle.' Miss Louisa Belle is a [middle-years]* bloodhound possessing, of course, a nose that is reportedly 2000 X more sensitive than the human nose. Her primary job, the vintner told the Melbourne [Australia]
Herald Sun in July, is to sniff out tainted corks during the bottling process."
