He's Got Blinders On!



So that all wines are judged fairly they are served blind, that is, without the taster(s) seeing the label or bottle shape. Blind tasting may also involve using a black glass to serve the so the color of the wine can’t be seen. An experienced taster's judgment can be ‘clouded’ by seeing the bottle because it could give away things such as geographic origin, price, reputation, color, or other considerations. Tasters expect more expensive wine to have more desirable characteristics than less expensive wine. If a taster is given lower priced wine but told that it is expensive they almost always report it as tasting better than the very same wine when they are told that it is inexpensive.

One of the most famous instances of blind testing is known as the Judgment of Paris. This was a wine competition held in 1976 where French judges blind-tested wines from France against those from California. California wines bested French wines according to the judges, a result which would have been unlikely in a non-blind contest. This event was depicted in the 2008 movie Bottle Shock.
