There appears to be abundant evidence that wine-tasting is largely nonsense, including experiments done on wine judges: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-ta...


There's evidence that wine judging is less objective than most people involved in it seem to believe. I'm not sure that justifies calling it nonsense, or misrepresenting a study as showing that experienced people can't even distinguish white from red.


The link I provided does not cite that study.


It does actually, but that wasn't really my point in referring to it. More that the GP post misrepresenting the study isn't justified by other evidence of a lack of rigour in the field.
