In another experiment, critics tasted one red wine and one white wine. They described the red in language typical of reds and the white in language typical of whites. The problem? Both were identical white wines; the “red” had been tinted with food coloring.


I'd like to see this actual study because that makes absolutely no sense. Go get a Cabernet and a Chardonay, blindfold yourself and taste them. They aren't even close. Would you be able to tell the difference between a coke and a sunkist? That's how big the difference is. I could tell the difference and I'm far far far from an expert. I drink only a few glasses of wine a year. These critics must have no taste buds at all.

I'd say this is slightly different from blindfolding the reviewers. Instead of removing sight as one of the senses, the experimenters decided to deceive the test subjects by dyeing the white wines so that they looked red. I would imagine that the appearance of red wine interfered with the tasters' other senses.
