Sense shown by people of culture? (5)

I believe the answer is:

taste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'sense' is the first definition.
(taste is one of the five senses)

'people of culture?' is the second definition.
'taste' can be an answer for 'culture?' (culture is a kind of taste). I am unsure of the 'people of' bit.

'shown by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Fine perception" , "Sensation in the mouth caused by food" , "A sense; briefly sample" , "Relish or discrimination" , "Flavour or discrimination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
