29 Feb 2008 Expensive wine tastes better?
 |  Category: Uncategorized

Seems obvious, does it not? Yet, read this article….

An excerpt:

SCIENTISTS AT CALTECH and Stanford recently published the results of a peculiar wine tasting. They provided people with cabernet sauvignons at various price points, with bottles ranging from $5 to $90. Although the tasters were told that all the wines were different, the scientists were in fact presenting the same wines at different prices.

The subjects consistently reported that the more expensive wines tasted better, even when they were actually identical to cheaper wines.

Well….looks like I’ll be telling everyone that my $3.99 Cabernet is really a $39.99 Cabernet…

  1. Where did yuou find a 3.99 cabernet? Please DO tell.

  2. Aaah the benefits of living in Indiana where everything is cheap.

    Our favorite wine is called Banrock Station. They have a Cab Merlot that is AWESOME and it’s $3.99 a bottle at our grocery store. They also have a really really good white called Semillion Chardonnay. It’s an Aussie wine.
