You should google sommelier tests - they can name regions in blind tests, not just quality.
Whether it’s actually “better” in any real sense is debatable. But wines are certainly distinguishable
- CydeWeys 6y agoIs it quality they can't identify, or price? Is there even an objective measure of wine quality? Price at least is objective.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoQuality is inherently subjective, but there are widely adopted rating systems
- teh_klev 6y agoMost of us aren't sommeliers though. In a blind test the best I could do would be to say "I like that one, don't like this other one etc". And I feel I know a reasonable bit about reds and have done plenty of tastings over the years. I usually go for the best bang for the buck, and at the moment there's a bunch of great South American wines priced at around GBP5.50-7.00 that are great daily drivers.
