For the general public, wine of red color IS the red wine, so the whole question would be moot. Unless you're very non-general knowledgeable person - either formally trained or self-taught - you not only wouldn't see the difference, you wouldn't realize there's anything going on at all. Is it wine? Is it red? Then it's the red wine, period.
- nojokes 6y agoI think it does not hurt to repost my comment again: I think what Brochet study clearly displayed is that novice oenology students are too biased by the framework what they have been taught - they see red colored wine and they try to fit it into the framework they know. What this study did not show was that a general public would not distinguish between red wine and colored white wine. It also did not show that seasoned wine experts would not distinguish between red wine and colored white wine. This is a really interesting study but it has its clear limitations and these should be acknowledged.

- bordercases 6y agoThen the threshold of what is "knowledgeable" has been mis-defined. There is clearly a level of knowledge that can articulate the distinction.
- smsm42 6y agoI'm not saying nobody knows the difference, certainly a lot of people do. But these people are a tiny percentage of the general public.
