Blind Tasting (wine)

The tasting of wine with, typically, no knowledge of the identity of the wine. At times, the tasters will know the type but not the winery they originate from. In all cases of "blind tasting" there are specific identity elements purposely removed, eliminating the chance of influencing the taster's opinion. The purpose of "blind tasting" is learning how to identify regional traits and the traits of specific wineries.
