Default Is Hi-Fi delusional?

Not a good comparison as the terms used by experienced wine tasters actually
mean something. I mean this in as much as the flavours and scents that are
described are there due to the chemical reactions that occur in the
fermentation process.

I don't quite follow you -
a) Elderflower, blackberries and green apples are not, as far as I know,
present in grapes?
b) I believe that audiophiles who use specific words do try to create
'reserved' expressions for what they describe in order to gain some
universality of meaning. While this fails a lot of the time, words like
'treble' and 'resolution' are quite reasonable.
