Is this true?

On a recent trip to Brisbane and Sydney, an air hostess on the flight told me an interesting fact. She said that drinking wine at altitude tastes different to that on the ground. Down on the ground, the same wine is supposed to have more body. Haven't really been able to test this yet, does anyone know if this is true or not?

I believe in the theory but have no empirical proof except that the wine on airlines usually stinks unless you fly up front...
