I would not propose a blind test to anyone and "experts" (oenologist) will kindly refuse to do the test. I tried my "wine liking" friends with this kind of blind test, and actually proved them they do not feel anything (the wine was the same in both glasses, they were certain that this glass was x and that glass was y, then ten minute later I did it again, with the same "those two wines are uncomparable" answer, while the wine was exactly the same)
So, if ask me, the wine thing is a scam from the begining. The only stable criterium for good vs bad wine is how bad the head ache in the morning. I.e. I can drink a >20€ bottle alone and be clear the next morning, while a <20€ bottle (with exceptions) is a bad idea.
Oh, and I'm French, and most my family and friends have contracted this oeno-magicallicus virus, which makes you believe in things that do not exist. [edit: and pay for them unexistent things]
