How do humans “develop” taste for food/drinks? For example: Beer, Wine etc.

I don’t think anything _physically_ changes in the body. Our cells _are_ dying all the time as new ones get made, and sometimes that can make our tastebuds respond differently to foods over time.
However, what’s happening over the short term when it comes to drinks or other foods you eat a lot of – you just simply get used to it. It doesn’t necessarily taste better, you just get used to it and it doesn’t really matter anymore, maybe it even starts to grow on you like the family dog grows on the dad who said they didn’t want it
In the same vein, people say their “tolerance” goes up when they get used to drinking alcohol. That doesn’t exist, you just get better at masking the effects to feel/act normally.
