re: Proof: All Wine Tastes the Same

Wines breath once opened so it doesn't surprise me that experts can't tell that they are drinking the same wine over the course of the tasting when its from the same bottle

that's it.


I cant imagine these experts aren't decanting, therefore making your argument moot. Or they are pouring from the bottle, where no matter the time open doesn't allow enough surface area to breath. Either way the argument is not valid.

Many studies over many years, over many areas, about many things wine snob all show the same thing.

if they have such good palates as to describe a wine as having "violets, mocha, and cloves [that] are layered into the rich, sumptuous finish," shouldn't they be able to tell that they're drinking the same wine? it's not going to breathe and oxidize that much over the course of a 20 minute tasting that it tastes like a different wine.
