Yes, Oenologists assumed that the wine which was red was actually... red wine. This study is always quoted and is a sham IMO. What this is saying more than anything is "the placebo affect does work." which is totally true.
But IMO it doesn't say a whole lot about wine tasting being BS.
- hansjorg 8y agoOf course this says a lot about wine tasting and the claims made by connoisseurs about their wine tasting abilities. It's the kind of information that's a bit too upsetting though, even for non connoisseurs to want to accept.

- lobotryas 8y agoBy actually making it blind so the color of the wine dies not predispose your expectation for specific notes or mouth feel.
