Priset är inte det relevanta, men ja, folk känner skillnad. Mat kan framhäva ett vins egenskaper, så det behöver inte alls vara så att det blir enklare att märka om ett vin är bra eller dåligt om man bara dricker vinet för sig själv.
Oh really,
Expensive wine and cheap plonk taste the same to most people
Citat:
A survey of hundreds of drinkers found that on average people could tell good wine from plonk no more often than if they had simply guessed.
In the blind taste test, 578 people commented on a variety of red and white wines ranging from a £3.49 bottle of Claret to a £29.99 bottle of champagne. The researchers categorised inexpensive wines as costing £5 and less, while expensive bottles were £10 and more.
The study found that people correctly distinguished between cheap and expensive white wines only 53% of the time, and only 47% of the time for red wines. The overall result suggests a 50:50 chance of identifying a wine as expensive or cheap based on taste alone – the same odds as flipping a coin.
Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at Hertfordshire University, conducted the survey at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
"People just could not tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine," he said. "When you know the answer, you fool yourself into thinking you would be able to tell the difference, but most people simply can't."
du kan se att de flesta känner ingen skillnad på dyrt och billigt vin.

Hur förklarar du då att vinindustrin utvecklats och fortsätter att utvecklas med nya metoder? Hittar de bara på slumpmässiga metoder för att producera vin?
Hur förklarar du alla blindprovningar där folk lyckats pricka rätt?
1) Här kan du se att hela fancy vin grejen är bullshit,
Wine-tasting: it's junk science
Citat:
In 2008 a study of 6,000 blind tastings by Robin Goldstein in the Journal of Wine Economics found a positive link between the price of wine and the amount people enjoyed it. But the link only existed for people trained to detect the elements of wine that make them expensive.
Citat:
Colour affects our perceptions too. In 2001 Frédérick Brochet of the University of Bordeaux asked 54 wine experts to test two glasses of wine – one red, one white. Using the typical language of tasters, the panel described the red as "jammy' and commented on its crushed red fruit.
The critics failed to spot that both wines were from the same bottle. The only difference was that one had been coloured red with a flavourless dye.
om du dricker dyrt vin några gånger kommer du att lära dig att känna ett igen dyrt vin men det är inte så mycket bättre än "mid priced" att det är värt pengarna.
2) Du kan se att när man gör blindtester kan inte ens experter pricka rätt,
Citat:
Each panel of four judges would be presented with their usual "flight" of samples to sniff, sip and slurp. But some wines would be presented to the panel three times, poured from the same bottle each time. The results would be compiled and analysed to see whether wine testing really is scientific.
The first experiment took place in 2005. The last was in Sacramento earlier this month. Hodgson's findings have stunned the wine industry. Over the years he has shown again and again that even trained, professional palates are terrible at judging wine.
"The results are disturbing," says Hodgson from the Fieldbrook Winery in Humboldt County, described by its owner as a rural paradise. "Only about 10% of judges are consistent and those judges who were consistent one year were ordinary the next year.
3) Det är bara medelklass-människor som tror att vin är "elite". Ingen i överklassen bryr sig.
