For the love of wine.
As a personal hobby, I work with wine in a sealed bottle or a barrel. In my own experience, differences in taste may be perceived without adding any substances to the wine.
I am interested in the interplay between taste, attention and tasting conditions: temperature, aeration and personal expectations all shape the impression.
That is why I am interested in each person’s own judgement: What do you notice? What stays the same? Might there be no perceptible difference at all? Every answer is welcome.
What could an open-minded comparison look like?
One option is a blind tasting with an unchanged comparison sample under conditions that are as similar as possible: identical glasses, temperature and resting time, concealed labels and a random order.
