Doing <b>blind</b> taste tests even the most expert wine connoisseurs can't tell the difference between red wine and white wine, never mind slight differences between different cultivars. It's all just a performance.

:This isn't quite true, actually---what the well-known study actually found is that people with moderate wine-tasting experience, when given ''white wine dyed to appear red'' and asked to describe it using words picked from a list, were more likely to pick words usually applied to red wine (compared to when they were given undyed white wine). ([https://asteriskmag.com/issues/1/is-wine-fake This essay] has a nice discussion.) This seems to me like at best very slight evidence for wine tasting being "a performance"---senses interact in weird ways, especially in bizarre setups like this one.--[[Special:Contributions/162.158.158.136|162.158.158.136]] 06:57, 11 May 2023 (UTC) | :This isn't quite true, actually---what the well-known study actually found is that people with moderate wine-tasting experience, when given ''white wine dyed to appear red'' and asked to describe it using words picked from a list, were more likely to pick words usually applied to red wine (compared to when they were given undyed white wine).

Just curious: did anyone ''not'' immediately do a web search to see if Canadian Surrealist Porn is a thing? (It doesn't seem to be, all the hits are either to this comic or to references to this comic.)
