When is Andre going to do a completely blind test? e.g. Only a glass with the wine, he has to guess a price he would pay, then they show him the real price/origination country/label, etc.

It would bust his act, a lot of wine testers cant tell the difference with wine. There was a test where they were blind folded and told wine testers they were drinking cheap wine when they were actually drinking expensive wine and 9/10 times they would think it was cheap bad wine.

@@bobbysmurf9915 The study did research on college student who "took a wine class" not sommeliers. There is another study about wine competition judges who gave different ratings to the same wines when tasted blind but on average they are able to pick out the key tasting notes and determine quality for wines particularly the more popular wines. For the average wine consumer they cannot tell difference between a 20-30 $ bottle vs a 50-100$ bottle. A sommelier ON AVERAGE can. Beginners in wine usually also prefer fruitier and simpler wines. Usually lower tannins, lower acid, very little to no "Non-fruit flavours"

You see, there’s really no point of a blind tasting. For example a same bottle of wine made in France might costs $11 in Europe but can cost $30 in the USA, so tell me, should he guessed it $11 or $30? Plus, an inexpensive wine can be amazing and some expensive wine can be just average. I don’t know why am I telling you this, because your comments basically tell me “I don’t drink wine, I just like to see people fail so I can feel better for myself.” Yeah, good for you, man.

They never will because it will expose the act. Sommeliers are scam artists, there is no difference between the taste of high-end vs low-end wine, and the whole point of being a somme is to hype up the expensive and rare wines that will make money.

The beautiful thing about box wine no air into the bag. Open a bottle the entire bottle is aired. I cook with wine and don't ruin a box by a glass at a time. Ground up deer or bison add wine 😆 Need moisture to reheat a rice dish add wine. Mac n cheese dried out add wine. Water = moisture Wine = flavors Glass is heavy to transport and breakage. Paper and plastic lighter. It's nice to open a great bottle but for everday cooking and drinking 😒 CAN'T beat a box. And don't get me started on clearance time. Deer and wine a great combination.

@alanhersch4617

The only potential downside of no air, is that when you pour a glass, a bit of patience to let it breath is worth, where with a bottle, the whole thing gets to breathe so your second glass+ you can drink straight away. With a bit of patience though you remove that only downside.

I’m always proud to be an Australian when boxed wine (although we call it “cask wine” or just a goon sack 🤣) is discussed. It was a great invention, but has mostly been used only for terrible, cheap wine til now. The carbon footprint is lower, if recyclable elements are used that’s awesome too, and as Andre explained, it can stay fresh for a long time as no oxygen is introduced into the container when pouring. So, hooray for box wine finally coming into its own! Now if only Australia, the originators, would catch up! Not one of the brands shown is freely available here and most liquor stores here, even the big ones, have a choice of only about 5. I will be watching this space eagerly.

Comparative tasting can be a good tool for learning your palate i.e try two or three wines side by side and then you can often get a idea that one tastes more like pear and the other more like apple or something like that. Just remember that taste is subjective so whatever it tastes like to you is what it tastes like. As you practice more you'll be able to pick out more different falavours and find words to describe them.

@@MannerlyGem Kind of. Do you links to the specific tests? Most people that say this dont. The tests claiming bs about wine testing are about overall quality, not about undertones.

Black box Cabernet Sauvignon used to be very good but it's gotten progressively sweeter and less structured. Even though six weeks is the suggested drinking window I've found that since air doesn't get into the wine you can keep drinking it as long as propriety allows. Wonderful, much needed and well done review.
