I did with my family using blindfolds and we all failed. Either seems to demonstrate that perception of wine has a strong visual component.

  You can't tell the difference between a chardonnay and a burgundy?

    > You can't tell the difference between a chardonnay and a burgundy? Well, that's a bit of a strawman, isn't it, given it would typically boil down to "vanilla/not vanilla" for most chardonnays?

  > I did with my family Biased sample. There are many confounding factors why if you cannot tell the difference, it is likely your family can’t either. I do like the idea of testing my wine drinking friends, who are definitely not snobs. I would bet money they would mostly pick the difference between a normal: Oaked Chardonnay, Reisling, Savignon Blanc, and Cabernet Savignon. I suspect the red wine drinkers could tell some of the red wine varietals too (I would struggle there).

  Taste sensitivity and perception is varied among humans and is also dependent on your genes. Cilantro, brussel sprouts, super tasters, etc.
