I worked as a bartender in France. We sold local organic wines, and one day a rich lady came to me asking for a 'mineral wine'. She was condescending and tried to explain to me what that was like I was dumb. So i poured her a glass of a random wine and she said 'mmmh exactly, that's a mineral wine' and bought the whole bottle. It wasn't. But it was the most expensive B)
First day as a bartender: Customer: "I'll have a dry martini." Me, panicking inside while looking at all of the clearly liquid ingredients: "I don't know how to tell you this..."
Fun story: I used to work at a very fancy restaurant. I was just a humble dishwasher, but through the years I saw some fairly interesting stuff happening behind doors on the kitchen. My favorite moment was when this incredibly snobby "gourmet" arrived to rate the restaurant dishes. He even had a TV crew and everything. Spent close to 15 min giving extremely precise and needlessly complex instructions to the poor waitress assigned to serve him. One of the instructions he repeated over and over and over again ad nauseum, is that his choice of wine? *MUST.NOT.BE.SHAKEN* And he even made her repeat it to "make sure she got it". And went on a long-winded tangent about how if you shake the wine, you "kill the flavor, unmix the emulsion, sour the body" blah blah blah. He pissed her off so much that when she FINALLY was allowed to go to the kitchen to give his order to the chef, she went to the wine cellar to pick his wine. Alone. And stayed there for close to 10 minutes just to pick a bottle. We were starting to worry maybe she was crying down there, and I was just about to go down to see if she was okay, when I see her coming up, bottle in hand. She placed it on a tray, and then made a very theatrical show of walking to the "gourmet" table, bottle on the tray, very very slowly, to shake the bottle as little as possible. She served him his wine, and he was shortly afterwards served his meal. He gave more of his platitudes but had no complaints about the wine at all. Near the end of the shift while we were waiting for the bus to pick us up, I just asked her, "What were you doing down there for 10 minutes?" Her answer nearly killed all of us because of how much we laughed: "What does it look like I was doing? I spent 10 minutes shaking that fucking bottle as hard as I could for as long as I could". And yes, the snobby gourmet did not notice any difference whatsoever. So Adam is on point here. These people are just pretentious assholes.
Half true: i worked with a great sommelier, and he could recognize almost every taste of a wine, but his most important lesson was this:"I can explain you a wine for hours, but i don't know your taste. What do you like? That's the only thing that matter".
The video references a study that tested “wine experts” but they left out that the experts were students. They were hardly even experts, much less master sommeliers. Adam ruins everything likes to pick and choose facts in order to make high society people look dumb. Even the wording in the title, using wine snobs instead of the actual term sommelier is proof of their bias
I'm friends with a family of winemakers and thus had the opportunity to taste many, many, many different wines within a huge price range. They always say "The price doesn't make the wine better. You gotta drink what fits YOUR taste" and from my experience, that's so absolutely true. There are different reasons for the different pricing but taste is none of them.
Taste is certainly one of the reasons. Higher quality wines use better grapes grown in ideal conditions, they use low yields (only selecting the best grapes of the bunch), longer aging in real oak barrels which cost upwards of $2k each. All of that is done with the sole intention of improving the flavor. You simply cannot recreate high complexity and quality of flavors without spending a tremendous amount of money producing the wines
Jacob, you still don’t get it. The example you just gave does not make the taste “better.” It just makes it *distinct*. It could technically taste better to _someone_, but in the end it’s all subjective.
@@jestes7 Correct, I never said it is objectively *better*, but it costs more to make very high quality wine for some of the reasons I mentioned earlier. This applies to everything, is an A5 Kobe steak “better” than a Choice USDA? That’s up to you to decide, but it certainly costs much more to produce Kobe than ordinary Choice
@@jestes7 Wine is also subject to diminishing returns when it comes to buying expensive wines. There is a point at which you are paying more but probably cannot tell the difference in quality. I’d say $25-50 is where you are going to find great wines that won’t break the bank. I wouldn’t go under $10 and for most people it would be a waste to go above $50
Exactly. I don't drink bag-in-a-box because it's cheaper but it's because there's simply more of it. It tastes bad the first few glasses but after the third glass it starts tasting great and then there's still lots more left to enjoy!
I live in an award winning wine region, the cheapest bottle of wine you can buy is $20. I asked a fairly high up guy I know at one of the wineries why every winery has multiple different bottles for $20 and it goes up from there. He said there are 2 reasons first the government mandates what the lowest price can be (roughly $15 bucks) second if they charged the minimum no one would buy it because they think its the lowest cheap garbage wine possible so they charge a little more and the customers are happy with what they think is better quality wine.
Yeah, that is a very weird psychological thing. We are sceptical of cheap stuff, so we are often happy to pay a little more. Just for the "security" the pricetag gives.. There are examples of companies underselling their product/service. The business was going poorly. And the solution was to just increase the price. Which is counterintuitive. Because if something is not selling, the logical thing is to reduce the price, so people feel less of a risk from purchasing. Right?!
Bit late but, was hoping you could clarify which region and country this is. Is it the case that that region only grows one type of grape and only makes one type of wine, or is _all_ wine set at that price? I would be a bit surprised if it was the latter, as many regions do tend to emphasise some varieties (usually decided by the terroir, but also heritage and therefore what makes the most money) but growers will still maintain smaller stocks and produce smaller amounts of other varieties, sometimes just for blending, sometimes just to provide an alternative option, and setting those at a price equal to the actually-desirable varieties is just uneconomical. I don't know much about the wine economics but, as a buyer in Australia, there seems to be no lower limit to the pricing of the wine. You can get cleanskins of "white wine" for literally $1. Growers talk of production gluts so vast they're pouring vats of it down the drain.
I completely disagree about being able to tell the difference. In fact, I 100% guarantee that I can taste ANY drink and tell you instantly whether or not it's Captain Morgan.
This is partially true, but some of this is very exagerrated. Wine experts CAN taste the difference between red and white wine and they CAN taste the difference between dry and sweet wines, it's the small nuanced hints and aromas that they fake.
+tyg But there was a specific test that proves otherwise. although that test used only a small group of wine tasters so i guess there would be exceptions.
+tyg I think the point is less that "they can't tell the difference" and more that their expectations overrule what their senses would actually tell them. They drink white wine dyed red and describe it as having characteristics normally belonging to red wines because that's what they're expecting/assuming.
+tyg you don't need to be an expert to do that, anyway the aromas and nuanced hints are just a way you learn to express what taste you are feeling in your mouth, what's the thing that comes closest to it. For example I once tasted a white wine and tried to say what it tastes like, I said it tasted like elder flowers, the wine expert at the table said "yes white flowers" (this was in italian), elder flowers are indeed white, so subjective? yes, depends on what taste experiences you had in the past, an indian might say totally different things about the taste depending on what he tasted in his life, and even have different preferences based on his gastronomic culture. It's easy to distinguish a good wine from a bad wine, but superexpensive prestigious wines sometimes don't taste as good as a normal good wine to a profane like me, i don't know if it's an aquired taste (like coffee, no one likes coffee at first taste).
+tyg I think the difference is this. Blindfold someone and give him wine and ask him "red or white?". Maybe I can't do it, but a wine expert probably can. Give him a red wine and ask his opinion, he won't even suspect it actually being a white wine and therefore not come to the conclusion.
That's the idea. Expensive was being equated with good, even though they were the same. The thesis here is that they can be good without someone telling them they are.
Fairly, I don't believe that experiment. If you have ever drunk two glasses of different wine one after another, it is unlikely you don't feel the difference, they smell differently, they taste differently. I don't believe that if I can spot differences between wines, wine experts can't, or similarly, I don't believe they can't tell it was the same wine.
Shushan Arakelyan but they weren’t different so there is nothing to pick up on to differentiate. It would be easy to distinguish 2 different wines, but 2 of the same wine presented in different ways will make your mind play tricks on you. This experiment just shows that the wine experts need another expert to help them find the next great wine. They either didn’t like the expensive wine, or they were telling themselves the cheap one was bad. Goes to show the power of suggestion and the mind.
@@Alex-us2vw that is what I am saying, if you can tell the wines are different you should be able to tell when they are not different, because if they were different it would have been painfully obvious, no?

When Shadow of Mordor and Borderlands 2 run natively on Ubuntu and SteamOS is based on the Linux kernel, I'd say we're pretty much almost there if not already.
I do know that I personally tested my grandfather on this, who enjoys many, many wines. I made him taste three wines, two red wines, one white wine while blindfolded. For all three wines he could tell exactly what wine he was drinking, and he got very close to what year it was from. It was only a couple of years off.
Taste-testing across varieties isn't the most difficult part; many people can tell the difference between the main varieties (obviously harder if you used rare, obscure varieties, but then most people probably wouldn't even have tasted those), and even red vs white wine, provided you select ones that aren't super-close in dryness, is not _that_ hard to get right more than 50% of the time. Even the year thing is not _that_ impressive, if what we're talking about is a person who has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine, likely knows the long-term climatic and other effects that might've affected the wine of a particular region (assuming they narrowed the variety down first) and has done a lot of tasting to know those differences. Don't get me wrong, it's still freaking awesome whenever someone knows anything to that level, but it's like getting impressed with a car buff for knowing about cars. It's when people start thinking they can pick between vineyards, producers etc as if that's possible for everyone or even important, start trading in subjective terms as if they're general knowledge, and then using those opinions to insist on what is _good_ (and therefore expensive), that's when we have problems.
This reminds me of when my partner went to beer tasting, and the person holding the event said that everyone has different taste and they can say whatever they think about a beer's taste, and that they shouldn't be shy to say that they don't like a beer. Then when my partner tasted one of the beers and said "This one is quite bitter" the person holding the event said "NO. The word you're looking for is fruity."
Maybe the wine experts felt socially pressured by what _clearly_ looks like red wine and didn't want to embarass themselves by saying "this tastes like white wine". Because there definitely is a difference between the tastes of red and white wine, they couldn't have NOT noticed. But yeah, even that goes to prove how much they're faking it.
I think that's a fairly good point, although it's not entirely impossible for them to not notice. The human brain is easy to fool, it could've been a sort of placebo effect. However it's highly unlikely for it to simultaneously occur between 54 "wine experts," and what you suggested is probably what happened. Although on the other hand, there have been other studies that if you give a group of people two of the same thing and tell them to find the difference, they'll often swear that there are differences and even agree with other members of the group as soon as they mention something! So in my opinion, it's less to do with the "experts" faking it, and more to do with them truly believing they're tasting different wines, and that their minds are just convincing them that there are differences - even though there are none.
the main difference, i would say, is that white and rosé are drank cold, while red is drank at room temperature. It really changes the way you percieve the taste. But even if therer is a clear difference, they could have thought that the red was just a particular red that tasted close to a white wine.
+Dank Potatoes Crap in a box wouldn't be modern art, but dadaism. Examples of that would be "The Fountain", which was literally a toilet bowl signed by the artist, and a piece called "Artist's Shit" where the artist canned his shit and sold each cat food-sized can for thousands of dollars each. It's meant to question and mock what art is by making horrible things, calling them "art!" and seeing its affects on peoples' views of it. People will look at something and judge it differently if it's called art, and especially if it's created by a popular artist. Some "artist" had a stray dog that he captured left chained up and staving on display during an exhibit. No one was alarmed or upset by it because he called it art. ...Also, I'm sure crap in a box has been done before. You hack.
There's a bit of a flaw in the methodology- what we perceive can be influenced by our expectations. Give someone a white wine, and their brain will be inclined to look for the qualities one would expect from a white wine. Give someone a wine that looks red, and they will be looking for the qualities associated with a red. Same for brands that are "better" than others. If you want a purely objective test, blind fold them and ask them to try different wines. Sure, I bet that some of the "cheap" wine will get rated better and the "fine" wine get rated lower, but I would be willing to bet that they usually can tell which is white and which is red, as well as what is generally a better made wine over stuff that was cheaper.
+Twosocks42 I can usually tell if a wine is terrible quality, and when I say that I mean they clearly were trying to make it as cheap as possible with no concern for taste, however 1 of the best rated wines in the U.S. is 10 dollars a bottle. Almost all wineries make wine the exact same way with similar grapes. Its very rare that there is anything special about a $900 dollar bottle of wine that you can't find in most $10 dollar bottles. Do some wine tours, you will find that a lot of the "upscale" places make shittier tasting wine. Its almost impossible to tell the value of most wines by taste. Believe me I used to think the more expensive the wine the better it was.
+Twosocks42 True, I'm mean literally anyone can tell the difference between red and white wine. The fact that wine experts couldn't tell in this case is not proof that they're identical. However, this idea of influencing our perception shows that the whole wine world could be based on somewhat of a hoax where wine experts could praise a bottle of wine that was cheap to make but was sold expensively in a fancy bottle with limited availability.
+Twosocks42 That is the whole point of the test. The difference between a wine expert and someone who drinks a lot of wine should be that the wine expert can avoid being influenced by expectation. Everyone can tell if a wine is sweet or sour.
Schwarzer Ritter Why should the expert be any better at not being influenced by their expectations? Are they an expert in avoiding cognitive biases? Having a lot of knowledge in a particular area does not make you immune to the ways the brain fools itself.
My wife tried to test me by giving me a red wine. I told her it was a merlot, 1956 vintage from the hills of Tibet Australia. Then she took the blind fold off and I realized that it was Guinness. I had no idea that Guinness made merlot in Tibet Australia till that moment...
Considering how the USA likes to steal names from all over the world, I genuinely had to google to make sure that there is not a town called "Tibet" in Australia.
Wine experts:this wine is juicy,also (sip) the wine maker had a wife who was 1 year younger than him and (sip) blah blah blah Me:this wine tastes like...wine
Totally fine for you to think the wine tastes like wine. Wine experts should be a tool to help you understand which wines to purchase when considering your tastes and your price point. They exist to prevent the situation where you try to buy something you'll like but accidentally pick something you hate.
Not to say wine experts are actually good at "detecting" flavors and such, but it is true that some people have a weak sense of taste and some have a strong taste.
Well, that's true but it's not really the point of the video. The point is that wether a wine is good or bad is very subjective and not objective as wine experts claim it to be. If you listen to so called wine experts, they will allways say that the more expensive wine will be the better one. That's also what this experiments show. They werte confronted with the same wine, one time in a cheap bottle and one time in a more expensive one. And they claimed the wine in the expensive bottle to be better and 'more complex' although it was literally the same. The point is NOT that there is no tastdable difference between different brands of wine. The point is that wether an individual likes the taste of a wine is completly up to them and their preferences and is NOT an objective scale in which the expensive one is allways the better one.
@@xDarkestDemonx but no actual wine expert (ie a sommelier) would pretend that wine is objective. There will be some pretentious pricks who will declare their own taste objective but that's true for any hobby or product. The job of a sommelier is to use their extensive wine knowledge to help pick a wine that best suits the person, the dish they're eating, the experience they want etc etc etc. It's precisely because wine is subjective that their job exists, if it was objective restraunts might a well get rid of them and just put "buy the most expensive white/red" next to each dish on the menu
While I do agree that for the most part its fairly subjective, I argue there are differences in the quality of the production of the wine at the extremes that anyone with a little bit of experience can detect. Price is definitely not a good measurement as Ive had amazing 15 dollar bottles, and ordinary 150 dollar bottles.
As a guy that used to sell wine, I can tell you that a thousand dollar bottle of wine honestly ain't much different from dollar store wine. It's all a game of who has the fanciest label and the shinniest reputation
@@praftman it's like the video already elaborated on. These so-called educated tasters are full of shit. Like many commodities, what one is willing to pay for them isn't necessarily what they are worth.
Oh I've been snagged a few times by "expensive" bottles of wine that taste like freakin vinegar! My go to wine is still a little on the expensive side, but year after year it is wonderful. I stick with what I like.
If it tasted like vinegar that means the wine was corked and that bottle is no good. Wine turns to vinegar (pretty much just tastes terrible) after it's exposed to air for too long.
+Thyri Carver If you had an "expensive" or even a cheap bottles of wine that taste like freakin vinegar, the wine spoiled. A lot of expensive wine is old wine and if not stored right, it can easily go bad.
+Thyri Carver Best wine I ever tasted was some cheapo stuff called 'three mills' or something like that. It really just tasted of fresh grapes to me, nobody else at the table liked it so I drank the whole thing. I would say it was a good night, but the other people with me were my girlfriends parents and grandparents. They spent half a year after that convinced I was an alcoholic and trying to get me to seek help.
This reminds me of a segment on a news show (I think it was Dateline) where they had experts taste vodka. They claimed that Grey Goose (the most expensive) was the best and cheaper vodka was the worst. It turns out the vodka they all hated the most was the grey goose.
I have had a few different kinds of vodka though never straight, (all mixed with drinks) and honestly i don't think Grey goose is that great. I like smirnoff or Tino's? (not sure if spelled correctly). I also don't care much for Absolute but so people love it so again, I think it's just a personal taste.
It’s titos. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on some Weller vodka I would highly suggest it. It’s cheaper then titos and way smoother. Belvedere is also way better then grey goose. You’re paying for a brand and the quality is Mid at best
ok but to be fair, studies were done like that on normies who were blindfolded after seeing two strawberry yogurt cups and then were given two chocolate yogurt cups and were asked which one tasted most like strawberries and no one could tell they were chocolate. your eyes and mind play a bigger role on your tastebuds than people think.
It's actually you people that are being idiotic here. What's the difference between being blindfolded and tasting it? Well, seeing it of course. Anything other? No. You defer to what you see, calling white wines dry, and red wines fruity with no real reason other than preconceived notions.
@@MsHumanOfTheDecade that's funny because I can tell you the difference between a cabernet sauvignon and a petit beaujolais nouveau and they are both red. Could be the supposed "wine experts" they tested were just charlatans.
+PersonalPerson There is something called the Priming Effect that explains exactly what being blindfolded does other than preventing you from seeing the brand.
Haochi Zhang Yeah I understand. At the time I was replying to a specifc sentence he said. It wasn't the overall point of the video but I think it gave too much the impression that it's all the same, even when clearing it on the of the video.
drops of God... and there is a difference on bad quality (artificial added sugar) and better quality though it has nothing to do with price as much as you think.
No, quality is not subjective. perception of quality is. Wine making is a craft, and any craft has levels of care and skill and components that affect the end result. You may not enjoy the $100 dollar bottle anymore than the $10 bottle, however, that doesn't mean that there wasn't a difference in the quality. It could just not hit the right notes that appeal to your pallet. Also...you could just have crappy taste buds.
So because someone may prefer a cheaper wine they may just have bad taste or shitty taste buds? What constitutes this scale for good and bad as far as taste? Taste is an opinion, nothing more, you are utterly wrong.
Joshua Antonucci ....no. Quality has nothing to do with taste. Taste is subjective, quality is not. You can dislike something high quality because it doesn't appeal to you. You can also like something of low quality because it does. Just because you can't appreciate quality, doesn't mean it's not there or doesn't matter. There is nothing wrong with liking the taste of cheap wine, so conversely, there is nothing wrong with appreciating the taste of more pricey and/or higher quality ones.
Fun fact: The guy playing the wine expert is the host of the GSN show called “America Says”. Ironic, considering Adam is hosting the American version of The Crystal Maze on Nickelodeon.
People who live in a part of a wine culture area more often than not, can tell the difference, through its possibe the school is just sells zertificats. But you can tell the difference with experience with wine. I am suspecious of the school they tested thou. Body tells how heavy and dark, in chocolate terms the wine tasts. In fact more refined chocolate and wine have a lot in common regarding taste. And chocolate taster exist too, and you can tell the difference between different chocolates, and wines if you havent killed your sense of taste.
No they let you taste the wine in case it "taste like cork", that can happen for a certain fraction of bottles independently from it's price, just like in many kind of production a small part is faulted and with wine there is no way to know untill you don't taste it. You can't somply send it back because you don't like the general taste of the kind of wine you just ordered. It is rare (2% bottles) and most of the people would just not recognize it anyway but you have the right to refuse a faulted product.
A friend of mine was a coffee snob and let me taste some different coffees once. As I moved the coffee around to different parts of my mouth, I did actually pick up slightly different flavors and distinguishing characteristics. Apparently it’s the same with wine (not a big wine or coffee person.) it was a cool experience!
how the grapes matured, how mature the graapes are, types of grapes used... all these factor into how grapes taste so by extension it factors into how wine tastes.
because you can make a single wine with different grapes in different proportions, and also the fermentation takes a lot of time and you have to have the right conditions for the wine to ferment, so yeah wines are complex.
Soooo I work at a fancy restaurant and I don‘t know shit about wine, but the wine expert just kind of tell if the wine would be light and for example taste good with a salat or some kind of poultry or if it would be „heavy“ and taste good with a steak. He can tell you what flavours the wine is supposed to hint at (most wines are not just made out of grapes and the Bouquet (the different flavours which it contains) can contain also rasperrys or similar fruits. It‘s true, all of this is subjectiv but wine experts are most definitly not liars. And the study just showed the placebo effect, where they think both wines will taste different and imagend different things.
A C the point wasn’t if it tasted differently. The point is that what tastes good to you, doesn’t have to taste good to me. Or vice versa. Just because some snobs taste wine and say “it’s the best” it doesn’t mean it is if you clearly don’t like it. Because TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE! Which is the same way I feel about art. I wouldn’t pay $2 for the Mona Lisa.
@@JoshTorresDJ yeah, but if you refer to sommeliers to tell you which wine is the best , you're doing it wrong. With enough experience one can describe the taste, so that you can guess before buying whether the wine will suit your tastes. I mean, it's not a foolproof method, but if I'm spending 40 bucks on wine, I'd like to know beforehand what the taste is like.
If you look into the study, the wine experts weren't even wine experts. They were students studying to become sommeliers. Most sommeliers would be able to pass these tests. But the last point is very true, wine is subjective, everyone just drink what you like.
Me with my grandparents' blueberry wine: Yeah those "professionals" only tell you what you expect to hear because of how it's presented. Age and location are the two biggest factors in flavor really

This is actually the real point to be Made.
@OAT351 also a sommelier can suggest a wine for pairing with the food, but customers have Always the last word.
The video references a study that tested “wine experts” but they left out that the experts were students. They were hardly even experts, much less master sommeliers. Adam ruins everything likes to pick and choose facts in order to make high society people look dumb. Even the wording in the title, using wine snobs instead of the actual term sommelier is proof of their bias

@@sopheehee3474 Do you really taste grape though? It's pretty rare for a wine to taste like "grapes".

I taste *wine*
I'm friends with a family of winemakers and thus had the opportunity to taste many, many, many different wines within a huge price range. They always say "The price doesn't make the wine better. You gotta drink what fits YOUR taste" and from my experience, that's so absolutely true. There are different reasons for the different pricing but taste is none of them.
Taste is certainly one of the reasons. Higher quality wines use better grapes grown in ideal conditions, they use low yields (only selecting the best grapes of the bunch), longer aging in real oak barrels which cost upwards of $2k each. All of that is done with the sole intention of improving the flavor. You simply cannot recreate high complexity and quality of flavors without spending a tremendous amount of money producing the wines
Jacob, you still don’t get it. The example you just gave does not make the taste “better.” It just makes it *distinct*.
It could technically taste better to _someone_, but in the end it’s all subjective.
@@jestes7 Correct, I never said it is objectively *better*, but it costs more to make very high quality wine for some of the reasons I mentioned earlier. This applies to everything, is an A5 Kobe steak “better” than a Choice USDA? That’s up to you to decide, but it certainly costs much more to produce Kobe than ordinary Choice
@@jestes7 Wine is also subject to diminishing returns when it comes to buying expensive wines. There is a point at which you are paying more but probably cannot tell the difference in quality. I’d say $25-50 is where you are going to find great wines that won’t break the bank. I wouldn’t go under $10 and for most people it would be a waste to go above $50
Exactly. I don't drink bag-in-a-box because it's cheaper but it's because there's simply more of it. It tastes bad the first few glasses but after the third glass it starts tasting great and then there's still lots more left to enjoy!

I live in an award winning wine region, the cheapest bottle of wine you can buy is $20. I asked a fairly high up guy I know at one of the wineries why every winery has multiple different bottles for $20 and it goes up from there. He said there are 2 reasons first the government mandates what the lowest price can be (roughly $15 bucks) second if they charged the minimum no one would buy it because they think its the lowest cheap garbage wine possible so they charge a little more and the customers are happy with what they think is better quality wine.
Yeah, that is a very weird psychological thing. We are sceptical of cheap stuff, so we are often happy to pay a little more. Just for the "security" the pricetag gives..
There are examples of companies underselling their product/service. The business was going poorly. And the solution was to just increase the price. Which is counterintuitive. Because if something is not selling, the logical thing is to reduce the price, so people feel less of a risk from purchasing. Right?!
Bit late but, was hoping you could clarify which region and country this is. Is it the case that that region only grows one type of grape and only makes one type of wine, or is _all_ wine set at that price? I would be a bit surprised if it was the latter, as many regions do tend to emphasise some varieties (usually decided by the terroir, but also heritage and therefore what makes the most money) but growers will still maintain smaller stocks and produce smaller amounts of other varieties, sometimes just for blending, sometimes just to provide an alternative option, and setting those at a price equal to the actually-desirable varieties is just uneconomical. I don't know much about the wine economics but, as a buyer in Australia, there seems to be no lower limit to the pricing of the wine. You can get cleanskins of "white wine" for literally $1. Growers talk of production gluts so vast they're pouring vats of it down the drain.

This is partially true, but some of this is very exagerrated.
Wine experts CAN taste the difference between red and white wine and they CAN taste the difference between dry and sweet wines, it's the small nuanced hints and aromas that they fake.
+tyg But there was a specific test that proves otherwise. although that test used only a small group of wine tasters so i guess there would be exceptions.
+tyg I think the point is less that "they can't tell the difference" and more that their expectations overrule what their senses would actually tell them. They drink white wine dyed red and describe it as having characteristics normally belonging to red wines because that's what they're expecting/assuming.
+tyg you don't need to be an expert to do that, anyway the aromas and nuanced hints are just a way you learn to express what taste you are feeling in your mouth, what's the thing that comes closest to it. For example I once tasted a white wine and tried to say what it tastes like, I said it tasted like elder flowers, the wine expert at the table said "yes white flowers" (this was in italian), elder flowers are indeed white, so subjective? yes, depends on what taste experiences you had in the past, an indian might say totally different things about the taste depending on what he tasted in his life, and even have different preferences based on his gastronomic culture.
It's easy to distinguish a good wine from a bad wine, but superexpensive prestigious wines sometimes don't taste as good as a normal good wine to a profane like me, i don't know if it's an aquired taste (like coffee, no one likes coffee at first taste).
+tyg I think the difference is this. Blindfold someone and give him wine and ask him "red or white?". Maybe I can't do it, but a wine expert probably can. Give him a red wine and ask his opinion, he won't even suspect it actually being a white wine and therefore not come to the conclusion.
+tom elias That "test" didn't compensate for the placebo effect.
Couldn't the second one just be the Placebo effect? Because they think they should taste different, they actually do... to them.
That's the idea. Expensive was being equated with good, even though they were the same. The thesis here is that they can be good without someone telling them they are.
If salt and sugar were in the same container, would you be unable to tell fhe difference?
Fairly, I don't believe that experiment. If you have ever drunk two glasses of different wine one after another, it is unlikely you don't feel the difference, they smell differently, they taste differently. I don't believe that if I can spot differences between wines, wine experts can't, or similarly, I don't believe they can't tell it was the same wine.
Shushan Arakelyan but they weren’t different so there is nothing to pick up on to differentiate. It would be easy to distinguish 2 different wines, but 2 of the same wine presented in different ways will make your mind play tricks on you.
This experiment just shows that the wine experts need another expert to help them find the next great wine. They either didn’t like the expensive wine, or they were telling themselves the cheap one was bad. Goes to show the power of suggestion and the mind.
@@Alex-us2vw that is what I am saying, if you can tell the wines are different you should be able to tell when they are not different, because if they were different it would have been painfully obvious, no?

I don't even fully get the joke but I can still tell it was an okay one.
I do know that I personally tested my grandfather on this, who enjoys many, many wines. I made him taste three wines, two red wines, one white wine while blindfolded. For all three wines he could tell exactly what wine he was drinking, and he got very close to what year it was from. It was only a couple of years off.
Taste-testing across varieties isn't the most difficult part; many people can tell the difference between the main varieties (obviously harder if you used rare, obscure varieties, but then most people probably wouldn't even have tasted those), and even red vs white wine, provided you select ones that aren't super-close in dryness, is not _that_ hard to get right more than 50% of the time.
Even the year thing is not _that_ impressive, if what we're talking about is a person who has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine, likely knows the long-term climatic and other effects that might've affected the wine of a particular region (assuming they narrowed the variety down first) and has done a lot of tasting to know those differences. Don't get me wrong, it's still freaking awesome whenever someone knows anything to that level, but it's like getting impressed with a car buff for knowing about cars.
It's when people start thinking they can pick between vineyards, producers etc as if that's possible for everyone or even important, start trading in subjective terms as if they're general knowledge, and then using those opinions to insist on what is _good_ (and therefore expensive), that's when we have problems.
I won't believe my gut until a random man on the Internet confirms it
This reminds me of when my partner went to beer tasting, and the person holding the event said that everyone has different taste and they can say whatever they think about a beer's taste, and that they shouldn't be shy to say that they don't like a beer. Then when my partner tasted one of the beers and said "This one is quite bitter" the person holding the event said "NO. The word you're looking for is fruity."
Adam was always my favorite member of the CH crew his show is awesome !
Maybe the wine experts felt socially pressured by what _clearly_ looks like red wine and didn't want to embarass themselves by saying "this tastes like white wine". Because there definitely is a difference between the tastes of red and white wine, they couldn't have NOT noticed.
But yeah, even that goes to prove how much they're faking it.
true.
I think that's a fairly good point, although it's not entirely impossible for them to not notice. The human brain is easy to fool, it could've been a sort of placebo effect. However it's highly unlikely for it to simultaneously occur between 54 "wine experts," and what you suggested is probably what happened.
Although on the other hand, there have been other studies that if you give a group of people two of the same thing and tell them to find the difference, they'll often swear that there are differences and even agree with other members of the group as soon as they mention something!
So in my opinion, it's less to do with the "experts" faking it, and more to do with them truly believing they're tasting different wines, and that their minds are just convincing them that there are differences - even though there are none.
If you look at the study they were actually wine students which is not the same thing as experts.
the main difference, i would say, is that white and rosé are drank cold, while red is drank at room temperature. It really changes the way you percieve the taste.
But even if therer is a clear difference, they could have thought that the red was just a particular red that tasted close to a white wine.
That's because color affects the taste.

It's meant to question and mock what art is by making horrible things, calling them "art!" and seeing its affects on peoples' views of it. People will look at something and judge it differently if it's called art, and especially if it's created by a popular artist. Some "artist" had a stray dog that he captured left chained up and staving on display during an exhibit. No one was alarmed or upset by it because he called it art. ...Also, I'm sure crap in a box has been done before. You hack.

There's a bit of a flaw in the methodology- what we perceive can be influenced by our expectations. Give someone a white wine, and their brain will be inclined to look for the qualities one would expect from a white wine. Give someone a wine that looks red, and they will be looking for the qualities associated with a red. Same for brands that are "better" than others. If you want a purely objective test, blind fold them and ask them to try different wines. Sure, I bet that some of the "cheap" wine will get rated better and the "fine" wine get rated lower, but I would be willing to bet that they usually can tell which is white and which is red, as well as what is generally a better made wine over stuff that was cheaper.
+Twosocks42
I can usually tell if a wine is terrible quality, and when I say that I mean they clearly were trying to make it as cheap as possible with no concern for taste, however 1 of the best rated wines in the U.S. is 10 dollars a bottle. Almost all wineries make wine the exact same way with similar grapes. Its very rare that there is anything special about a $900 dollar bottle of wine that you can't find in most $10 dollar bottles. Do some wine tours, you will find that a lot of the "upscale" places make shittier tasting wine. Its almost impossible to tell the value of most wines by taste.
Believe me I used to think the more expensive the wine the better it was.
+Twosocks42 True, I'm mean literally anyone can tell the difference between red and white wine. The fact that wine experts couldn't tell in this case is not proof that they're identical. However, this idea of influencing our perception shows that the whole wine world could be based on somewhat of a hoax where wine experts could praise a bottle of wine that was cheap to make but was sold expensively in a fancy bottle with limited availability.
+Twosocks42
That is the whole point of the test.
The difference between a wine expert and someone who drinks a lot of wine should be that the wine expert can avoid being influenced by expectation. Everyone can tell if a wine is sweet or sour.
Schwarzer Ritter Why should the expert be any better at not being influenced by their expectations? Are they an expert in avoiding cognitive biases? Having a lot of knowledge in a particular area does not make you immune to the ways the brain fools itself.

Not to say wine experts are actually good at "detecting" flavors and such, but it is true that some people have a weak sense of taste and some have a strong taste.
Well, that's true but it's not really the point of the video. The point is that wether a wine is good or bad is very subjective and not objective as wine experts claim it to be. If you listen to so called wine experts, they will allways say that the more expensive wine will be the better one.
That's also what this experiments show. They werte confronted with the same wine, one time in a cheap bottle and one time in a more expensive one. And they claimed the wine in the expensive bottle to be better and 'more complex' although it was literally the same. The point is NOT that there is no tastdable difference between different brands of wine. The point is that wether an individual likes the taste of a wine is completly up to them and their preferences and is NOT an objective scale in which the expensive one is allways the better one.
@@xDarkestDemonx but no actual wine expert (ie a sommelier) would pretend that wine is objective. There will be some pretentious pricks who will declare their own taste objective but that's true for any hobby or product. The job of a sommelier is to use their extensive wine knowledge to help pick a wine that best suits the person, the dish they're eating, the experience they want etc etc etc. It's precisely because wine is subjective that their job exists, if it was objective restraunts might a well get rid of them and just put "buy the most expensive white/red" next to each dish on the menu

It’s titos. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on some Weller vodka I would highly suggest it. It’s cheaper then titos and way smoother. Belvedere is also way better then grey goose. You’re paying for a brand and the quality is Mid at best
Grey goose is a literally a bottom shelf vodka that got moved to the top shelf to boost sales.

I love Trapp’s voice as the wine prank guy.
ok but to be fair, studies were done like that on normies who were blindfolded after seeing two strawberry yogurt cups and then were given two chocolate yogurt cups and were asked which one tasted most like strawberries and no one could tell they were chocolate. your eyes and mind play a bigger role on your tastebuds than people think.
Exactly its the same thing with the wine tests. Adam is idiotic when he said they're faking it. If he'd done more research he would've realized it.
Ok I know with certainty I would taste the chocolate if it was strong or real chocolate.
It's actually you people that are being idiotic here. What's the difference between being blindfolded and tasting it? Well, seeing it of course. Anything other? No. You defer to what you see, calling white wines dry, and red wines fruity with no real reason other than preconceived notions.
@@MsHumanOfTheDecade that's funny because I can tell you the difference between a cabernet sauvignon and a petit beaujolais nouveau and they are both red. Could be the supposed "wine experts" they tested were just charlatans.
+PersonalPerson There is something called the Priming Effect that explains exactly what being blindfolded does other than preventing you from seeing the brand.

Hmm... But white wine tastes nothing like red wine... that's not about the label, they're from different grapes.
He said that the study took a type of wine, split it, then just put food coloring in one.
Cole Aguirre I know. I'm saying that wine is not *All* the same.
so what?, nobody said they are
Rei Bob yea but a lot of the times we think we can subjectively sense the objective difference we actually cannot, that's the point of this video
Haochi Zhang Yeah I understand. At the time I was replying to a specifc sentence he said. It wasn't the overall point of the video but I think it gave too much the impression that it's all the same, even when clearing it on the of the video.
What a surprise that over-priced grape juice is overpriced.
drops of God... and there is a difference on bad quality (artificial added sugar) and better quality though it has nothing to do with price as much as you think.
original mentioned, a lot more added sugar then others and very thin.
Quality has nothing to do with personal preference. What someone likes isn't "wrong", and wine snobs are assholes, that's the point.
No, quality is not subjective. perception of quality is. Wine making is a craft, and any craft has levels of care and skill and components that affect the end result. You may not enjoy the $100 dollar bottle anymore than the $10 bottle, however, that doesn't mean that there wasn't a difference in the quality. It could just not hit the right notes that appeal to your pallet. Also...you could just have crappy taste buds.
So because someone may prefer a cheaper wine they may just have bad taste or shitty taste buds? What constitutes this scale for good and bad as far as taste? Taste is an opinion, nothing more, you are utterly wrong.
Joshua Antonucci ....no. Quality has nothing to do with taste. Taste is subjective, quality is not. You can dislike something high quality because it doesn't appeal to you. You can also like something of low quality because it does. Just because you can't appreciate quality, doesn't mean it's not there or doesn't matter. There is nothing wrong with liking the taste of cheap wine, so conversely, there is nothing wrong with appreciating the taste of more pricey and/or higher quality ones.

Just give me sweet wine. I don't care what color it is or what it supposed to eaten it with. As long as it makes me forget about the kids🤷🏾♀️
I think your kids need some wine to forget about you
I prefer semi dry. Especially for meals. Medium price Spanish wine is my typical drink of choice.

Fun fact: The guy playing the wine expert is the host of the GSN show called “America Says”. Ironic, considering Adam is hosting the American version of The Crystal Maze on Nickelodeon.

i feel adam should let the chance of people try to defend what he ruins, in a complementary interview
LAWL, my line everytime i hear "This is a nice dry wine" is "No, thats cleary wet"
So wine snobs are like art snobs, but with wine.
The truth is that the best wine is the wine you like.
This was a little exaggerated. You said that Frederick tested 54 wine experts, but the article you listed said they were undergraduates.
ikimu maritsu they where expected wine people..
Where are the listed?
People who live in a part of a wine culture area more often than not, can tell the difference, through its possibe the school is just sells zertificats. But you can tell the difference with experience with wine. I am suspecious of the school they tested thou. Body tells how heavy and dark, in chocolate terms the wine tasts. In fact more refined chocolate and wine have a lot in common regarding taste. And chocolate taster exist too, and you can tell the difference between different chocolates, and wines if you havent killed your sense of taste.
Especially since quite a few wine tasting competitions now feature black opaque glasses that make color irrelevant

:it says Ketchup, am I’m holding a bottle of ketchup.
That’s just funny gets me every time
Adam was so adorable when he said “it’s just I like”
That is why serious restaurants let you taste the wine before giving you the bottle.
I would guess those bottles dont cost 15$-20$?
No they let you taste the wine in case it "taste like cork", that can happen for a certain fraction of bottles independently from it's price, just like in many kind of production a small part is faulted and with wine there is no way to know untill you don't taste it. You can't somply send it back because you don't like the general taste of the kind of wine you just ordered. It is rare (2% bottles) and most of the people would just not recognize it anyway but you have the right to refuse a faulted product.
A friend of mine was a coffee snob and let me taste some different coffees once. As I moved the coffee around to different parts of my mouth, I did actually pick up slightly different flavors and distinguishing characteristics. Apparently it’s the same with wine (not a big wine or coffee person.) it was a cool experience!
This one goes beyond their normal inaccuracies to just plain satire.
oh? what about it was so inaccurate?
@@nickieBurke You’re kidding right? Literally 99% of this show is complete nonsense.

How is wine supposed to be complex??? It's grapes!!!
how the grapes matured, how mature the graapes are, types of grapes used... all these factor into how grapes taste so by extension it factors into how wine tastes.
because you can make a single wine with different grapes in different proportions, and also the fermentation takes a lot of time and you have to have the right conditions for the wine to ferment, so yeah wines are complex.
its old grape juice
sugary soda is gud
wine it rotted grape juice.
Soooo I work at a fancy restaurant and I don‘t know shit about wine, but the wine expert just kind of tell if the wine would be light and for example taste good with a salat or some kind of poultry or if it would be „heavy“ and taste good with a steak.
He can tell you what flavours the wine is supposed to hint at (most wines are not just made out of grapes and the Bouquet (the different flavours which it contains) can contain also rasperrys or similar fruits.
It‘s true, all of this is subjectiv but wine experts are most definitly not liars.
And the study just showed the placebo effect, where they think both wines will taste different and imagend different things.
Maybe they are exagerating... but you can still tell the differences...
I wholeheartedly agree.
A C the point wasn’t if it tasted differently. The point is that what tastes good to you, doesn’t have to taste good to me. Or vice versa. Just because some snobs taste wine and say “it’s the best” it doesn’t mean it is if you clearly don’t like it. Because TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE! Which is the same way I feel about art. I wouldn’t pay $2 for the Mona Lisa.
@@JoshTorresDJ yeah, but if you refer to sommeliers to tell you which wine is the best , you're doing it wrong. With enough experience one can describe the taste, so that you can guess before buying whether the wine will suit your tastes.
I mean, it's not a foolproof method, but if I'm spending 40 bucks on wine, I'd like to know beforehand what the taste is like.
adam ruins everything ad on an adam ruins everything video
2:51 That face can be a meme
If you look into the study, the wine experts weren't even wine experts. They were students studying to become sommeliers. Most sommeliers would be able to pass these tests. But the last point is very true, wine is subjective, everyone just drink what you like.
