Serving Wine from the Right and Smelly Armpits?

We do many things out of habit without thinking of the reasons behind why we do it?
When wine is ordered in a restaurant for example, we go through a whole ritual of showing the bottle and its label.
What matters most is that the right wine and vintage are served.
Smelling the cork does not serve any purpose as far as I know.
As for serving wine from the right, is it so customers do not get elbowed by the sommelier or the server?
Has it got anything to do with smelly armpits.
