I worked as a bartender in France. We sold local organic wines, and one day a rich lady came to me asking for a 'mineral wine'. She was condescending and tried to explain to me what that was like I was dumb. So i poured her a glass of a random wine and she said 'mmmh exactly, that's a mineral wine' and bought the whole bottle. It wasn't. But it was the most expensive B)
"If you can't win em, fool em"
kamcha 410 nice one,
@UC-elhzJfILM0PHrv3cXyhfQ the fact that it was the most expensive was random, we had like 5 different red wines
Lol
Thats a big brain move
I really wanted the wine expert to just start chugging ketchup when he was told he could drink whatever.
That would've been perfect.

Fun story: I used to work at a very fancy restaurant. I was just a humble dishwasher, but through the years I saw some fairly interesting stuff happening behind doors on the kitchen. My favorite moment was when this incredibly snobby "gourmet" arrived to rate the restaurant dishes. He even had a TV crew and everything.
Spent close to 15 min giving extremely precise and needlessly complex instructions to the poor waitress assigned to serve him. One of the instructions he repeated over and over and over again ad nauseum, is that his choice of wine? *MUST.NOT.BE.SHAKEN* And he even made her repeat it to "make sure she got it". And went on a long-winded tangent about how if you shake the wine, you "kill the flavor, unmix the emulsion, sour the body" blah blah blah.
He pissed her off so much that when she FINALLY was allowed to go to the kitchen to give his order to the chef, she went to the wine cellar to pick his wine. Alone. And stayed there for close to 10 minutes just to pick a bottle. We were starting to worry maybe she was crying down there, and I was just about to go down to see if she was okay, when I see her coming up, bottle in hand. She placed it on a tray, and then made a very theatrical show of walking to the "gourmet" table, bottle on the tray, very very slowly, to shake the bottle as little as possible.
She served him his wine, and he was shortly afterwards served his meal. He gave more of his platitudes but had no complaints about the wine at all.
Near the end of the shift while we were waiting for the bus to pick us up, I just asked her, "What were you doing down there for 10 minutes?"
Her answer nearly killed all of us because of how much we laughed: "What does it look like I was doing? I spent 10 minutes shaking that fucking bottle as hard as I could for as long as I could".
And yes, the snobby gourmet did not notice any difference whatsoever. So Adam is on point here. These people are just pretentious assholes.
That's brilliant 👏 🤣

Half true: i worked with a great sommelier, and he could recognize almost every taste of a wine, but his most important lesson was this:"I can explain you a wine for hours, but i don't know your taste. What do you like? That's the only thing that matter".
This is actually the real point to be Made.
@OAT351 also a sommelier can suggest a wine for pairing with the food, but customers have Always the last word.
The video references a study that tested “wine experts” but they left out that the experts were students. They were hardly even experts, much less master sommeliers. Adam ruins everything likes to pick and choose facts in order to make high society people look dumb. Even the wording in the title, using wine snobs instead of the actual term sommelier is proof of their bias
@@Kwiwiwiwi it look like you know what you are talking about, can you provide me with the reference I like to read it myself
Yeah, this "Ruin" was clearly just made out of spite. They're just generalizing all wine connoisseurs because of the small percentage of pompous ones.
I'm friends with a family of winemakers and thus had the opportunity to taste many, many, many different wines within a huge price range. They always say "The price doesn't make the wine better. You gotta drink what fits YOUR taste" and from my experience, that's so absolutely true. There are different reasons for the different pricing but taste is none of them.
Taste is certainly one of the reasons. Higher quality wines use better grapes grown in ideal conditions, they use low yields (only selecting the best grapes of the bunch), longer aging in real oak barrels which cost upwards of $2k each. All of that is done with the sole intention of improving the flavor. You simply cannot recreate high complexity and quality of flavors without spending a tremendous amount of money producing the wines
Jacob, you still don’t get it. The example you just gave does not make the taste “better.” It just makes it *distinct*.
It could technically taste better to _someone_, but in the end it’s all subjective.
@@jestes7 Correct, I never said it is objectively *better*, but it costs more to make very high quality wine for some of the reasons I mentioned earlier. This applies to everything, is an A5 Kobe steak “better” than a Choice USDA? That’s up to you to decide, but it certainly costs much more to produce Kobe than ordinary Choice
@@jestes7 Wine is also subject to diminishing returns when it comes to buying expensive wines. There is a point at which you are paying more but probably cannot tell the difference in quality. I’d say $25-50 is where you are going to find great wines that won’t break the bank. I wouldn’t go under $10 and for most people it would be a waste to go above $50
Exactly. I don't drink bag-in-a-box because it's cheaper but it's because there's simply more of it. It tastes bad the first few glasses but after the third glass it starts tasting great and then there's still lots more left to enjoy!

I live in an award winning wine region, the cheapest bottle of wine you can buy is $20. I asked a fairly high up guy I know at one of the wineries why every winery has multiple different bottles for $20 and it goes up from there. He said there are 2 reasons first the government mandates what the lowest price can be (roughly $15 bucks) second if they charged the minimum no one would buy it because they think its the lowest cheap garbage wine possible so they charge a little more and the customers are happy with what they think is better quality wine.
Yeah, that is a very weird psychological thing. We are sceptical of cheap stuff, so we are often happy to pay a little more. Just for the "security" the pricetag gives..
There are examples of companies underselling their product/service. The business was going poorly. And the solution was to just increase the price. Which is counterintuitive. Because if something is not selling, the logical thing is to reduce the price, so people feel less of a risk from purchasing. Right?!
Bit late but, was hoping you could clarify which region and country this is. Is it the case that that region only grows one type of grape and only makes one type of wine, or is _all_ wine set at that price? I would be a bit surprised if it was the latter, as many regions do tend to emphasise some varieties (usually decided by the terroir, but also heritage and therefore what makes the most money) but growers will still maintain smaller stocks and produce smaller amounts of other varieties, sometimes just for blending, sometimes just to provide an alternative option, and setting those at a price equal to the actually-desirable varieties is just uneconomical. I don't know much about the wine economics but, as a buyer in Australia, there seems to be no lower limit to the pricing of the wine. You can get cleanskins of "white wine" for literally $1. Growers talk of production gluts so vast they're pouring vats of it down the drain.
Just as a reminder : here in France, a standart bottle of red wine only costs around 5€ ($5.50) *hiccup*
"Only"

You’re supposed to pour it directly into the heart.
Couldn't the second one just be the Placebo effect? Because they think they should taste different, they actually do... to them.
That's the idea. Expensive was being equated with good, even though they were the same. The thesis here is that they can be good without someone telling them they are.
If salt and sugar were in the same container, would you be unable to tell fhe difference?
Fairly, I don't believe that experiment. If you have ever drunk two glasses of different wine one after another, it is unlikely you don't feel the difference, they smell differently, they taste differently. I don't believe that if I can spot differences between wines, wine experts can't, or similarly, I don't believe they can't tell it was the same wine.
Shushan Arakelyan but they weren’t different so there is nothing to pick up on to differentiate. It would be easy to distinguish 2 different wines, but 2 of the same wine presented in different ways will make your mind play tricks on you.
This experiment just shows that the wine experts need another expert to help them find the next great wine. They either didn’t like the expensive wine, or they were telling themselves the cheap one was bad. Goes to show the power of suggestion and the mind.
@@Alex-us2vw that is what I am saying, if you can tell the wines are different you should be able to tell when they are not different, because if they were different it would have been painfully obvious, no?

This is partially true, but some of this is very exagerrated.
Wine experts CAN taste the difference between red and white wine and they CAN taste the difference between dry and sweet wines, it's the small nuanced hints and aromas that they fake.
+tyg But there was a specific test that proves otherwise. although that test used only a small group of wine tasters so i guess there would be exceptions.
+tyg I think the point is less that "they can't tell the difference" and more that their expectations overrule what their senses would actually tell them. They drink white wine dyed red and describe it as having characteristics normally belonging to red wines because that's what they're expecting/assuming.
+tyg you don't need to be an expert to do that, anyway the aromas and nuanced hints are just a way you learn to express what taste you are feeling in your mouth, what's the thing that comes closest to it. For example I once tasted a white wine and tried to say what it tastes like, I said it tasted like elder flowers, the wine expert at the table said "yes white flowers" (this was in italian), elder flowers are indeed white, so subjective? yes, depends on what taste experiences you had in the past, an indian might say totally different things about the taste depending on what he tasted in his life, and even have different preferences based on his gastronomic culture.
It's easy to distinguish a good wine from a bad wine, but superexpensive prestigious wines sometimes don't taste as good as a normal good wine to a profane like me, i don't know if it's an aquired taste (like coffee, no one likes coffee at first taste).
+tyg I think the difference is this. Blindfold someone and give him wine and ask him "red or white?". Maybe I can't do it, but a wine expert probably can. Give him a red wine and ask his opinion, he won't even suspect it actually being a white wine and therefore not come to the conclusion.
+tom elias That "test" didn't compensate for the placebo effect.
I do know that I personally tested my grandfather on this, who enjoys many, many wines. I made him taste three wines, two red wines, one white wine while blindfolded. For all three wines he could tell exactly what wine he was drinking, and he got very close to what year it was from. It was only a couple of years off.
Taste-testing across varieties isn't the most difficult part; many people can tell the difference between the main varieties (obviously harder if you used rare, obscure varieties, but then most people probably wouldn't even have tasted those), and even red vs white wine, provided you select ones that aren't super-close in dryness, is not _that_ hard to get right more than 50% of the time.
Even the year thing is not _that_ impressive, if what we're talking about is a person who has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine, likely knows the long-term climatic and other effects that might've affected the wine of a particular region (assuming they narrowed the variety down first) and has done a lot of tasting to know those differences. Don't get me wrong, it's still freaking awesome whenever someone knows anything to that level, but it's like getting impressed with a car buff for knowing about cars.
It's when people start thinking they can pick between vineyards, producers etc as if that's possible for everyone or even important, start trading in subjective terms as if they're general knowledge, and then using those opinions to insist on what is _good_ (and therefore expensive), that's when we have problems.

I stopped thinking of wine as "high class" the moment I noticed the drug stores have wine sections now.
I realized it when I went to a family dollar and they had a discount wine section for like $5 a bottle XD
Why do they have wine for $5 at the DOLLAR store
***** I really don't know but at family dollar its just a discount store. Dollar tree has everything for a dollar
The 15 dollar wines you buy cost me about 5 euros
But your 1000 euro salary is probably $3000 in the U.S.A.
You can't spell "connoisseur" without including the word "con" in it

This reminds me of when my partner went to beer tasting, and the person holding the event said that everyone has different taste and they can say whatever they think about a beer's taste, and that they shouldn't be shy to say that they don't like a beer. Then when my partner tasted one of the beers and said "This one is quite bitter" the person holding the event said "NO. The word you're looking for is fruity."
I completely disagree about being able to tell the difference. In fact, I 100% guarantee that I can taste ANY drink and tell you instantly whether or not it's Captain Morgan.

+Heidi Choi Everything and anything apparently.
+Luke DS I just crapped in a box, is that art?
+Dank Potatoes Crap in a box wouldn't be modern art, but dadaism. Examples of that would be "The Fountain", which was literally a toilet bowl signed by the artist, and a piece called "Artist's Shit" where the artist canned his shit and sold each cat food-sized can for thousands of dollars each. It's meant to question and mock what art is by making horrible things, calling them "art!" and seeing its affects on peoples' views of it. People will look at something and judge it differently if it's called art, and especially if it's created by a popular artist. Some "artist" had a stray dog that he captured left chained up and staving on display during an exhibit. No one was alarmed or upset by it because he called it art. ...Also, I'm sure crap in a box has been done before. You hack.
There's a bit of a flaw in the methodology- what we perceive can be influenced by our expectations. Give someone a white wine, and their brain will be inclined to look for the qualities one would expect from a white wine. Give someone a wine that looks red, and they will be looking for the qualities associated with a red. Same for brands that are "better" than others. If you want a purely objective test, blind fold them and ask them to try different wines. Sure, I bet that some of the "cheap" wine will get rated better and the "fine" wine get rated lower, but I would be willing to bet that they usually can tell which is white and which is red, as well as what is generally a better made wine over stuff that was cheaper.
+Twosocks42
I can usually tell if a wine is terrible quality, and when I say that I mean they clearly were trying to make it as cheap as possible with no concern for taste, however 1 of the best rated wines in the U.S. is 10 dollars a bottle. Almost all wineries make wine the exact same way with similar grapes. Its very rare that there is anything special about a $900 dollar bottle of wine that you can't find in most $10 dollar bottles. Do some wine tours, you will find that a lot of the "upscale" places make shittier tasting wine. Its almost impossible to tell the value of most wines by taste.
Believe me I used to think the more expensive the wine the better it was.
+Twosocks42 True, I'm mean literally anyone can tell the difference between red and white wine. The fact that wine experts couldn't tell in this case is not proof that they're identical. However, this idea of influencing our perception shows that the whole wine world could be based on somewhat of a hoax where wine experts could praise a bottle of wine that was cheap to make but was sold expensively in a fancy bottle with limited availability.
+Twosocks42
That is the whole point of the test.
The difference between a wine expert and someone who drinks a lot of wine should be that the wine expert can avoid being influenced by expectation. Everyone can tell if a wine is sweet or sour.
Schwarzer Ritter Why should the expert be any better at not being influenced by their expectations? Are they an expert in avoiding cognitive biases? Having a lot of knowledge in a particular area does not make you immune to the ways the brain fools itself.
Twosocks42 Not being influenced by expectation is something you can learn.

This reminds me of a segment on a news show (I think it was Dateline) where they had experts taste vodka. They claimed that Grey Goose (the most expensive) was the best and cheaper vodka was the worst. It turns out the vodka they all hated the most was the grey goose.
I have had a few different kinds of vodka though never straight, (all mixed with drinks) and honestly i don't think Grey goose is that great. I like smirnoff or Tino's? (not sure if spelled correctly). I also don't care much for Absolute but so people love it so again, I think it's just a personal taste.
It’s titos. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on some Weller vodka I would highly suggest it. It’s cheaper then titos and way smoother. Belvedere is also way better then grey goose. You’re paying for a brand and the quality is Mid at best

I prefer semi dry. Especially for meals. Medium price Spanish wine is my typical drink of choice.
Hi here is snake rice wine just one heads up people have been saying the Cobra is alive

Holy shit good on catchin that

Oh I've been snagged a few times by "expensive" bottles of wine that taste like freakin vinegar! My go to wine is still a little on the expensive side, but year after year it is wonderful. I stick with what I like.
If it tasted like vinegar that means the wine was corked and that bottle is no good. Wine turns to vinegar (pretty much just tastes terrible) after it's exposed to air for too long.
+Thyri Carver It didnt taste like vinegar because it is a bad tasting wine. It tasted like vinegar because it had spoiled.
+Thyri Carver If you had an "expensive" or even a cheap bottles of wine that taste like freakin vinegar, the wine spoiled. A lot of expensive wine is old wine and if not stored right, it can easily go bad.
+Thyri Carver Best wine I ever tasted was some cheapo stuff called 'three mills' or something like that. It really just tasted of fresh grapes to me, nobody else at the table liked it so I drank the whole thing.
I would say it was a good night, but the other people with me were my girlfriends parents and grandparents. They spent half a year after that convinced I was an alcoholic and trying to get me to seek help.
+Thyri Carver I think most bottles in the range of 20-40 $ are on the safe side.
LAWL, my line everytime i hear "This is a nice dry wine" is "No, thats cleary wet"
Me with my grandparents' blueberry wine: Yeah those "professionals" only tell you what you expect to hear because of how it's presented. Age and location are the two biggest factors in flavor really
I can just picture Frasier and Niles looking so offended at this video.
Lol! I was thinking the same! I miss those guys...
Scrambled eggs man... Scrambled eggs....
As a great man once said,
"Grape juice is like when grapes have a party, but wine tastes like if
a grape committed suicide."
Let's see if you can tell me who it was.
"Sideways" 2004 ? www.imdb.com/title/tt0375063/quotes i'm right ? ^^

Literally everybody from the Mediterranean:
3:27 No that sandwich is objectively a culinary atrocity.
At the end, I was hoping the snob would've pulled out a case of PBR instead of boxed wine.
PBR is horrible beer. honestly. It tastes flatter than water.
nismo510 Technically yea, but if you don't like beer, why drink it?
Pratik Hazari What, you don't like the taste of a nice, aged Cardboardeaux?
That wine connoisseur looks like he’s seizing the day
Community reference?
Adam was always my favorite member of the CH crew his show is awesome !
He sounds like/talks a lot like a younger non-chef Alton Brown.. which explains why this series is awesome
I think so as well
BZ98 Alton Brown is the best, so this is truth
The placebo effect might have been in play with the tests.
If your profession can't even tell the difference between a whtie and red wine, your profession is bad, placebo effect or not.
Maybe they are exagerating... but you can still tell the differences...
I wholeheartedly agree.
A C the point wasn’t if it tasted differently. The point is that what tastes good to you, doesn’t have to taste good to me. Or vice versa. Just because some snobs taste wine and say “it’s the best” it doesn’t mean it is if you clearly don’t like it. Because TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE! Which is the same way I feel about art. I wouldn’t pay $2 for the Mona Lisa.
@@JoshTorresDJ yeah, but if you refer to sommeliers to tell you which wine is the best , you're doing it wrong. With enough experience one can describe the taste, so that you can guess before buying whether the wine will suit your tastes.
I mean, it's not a foolproof method, but if I'm spending 40 bucks on wine, I'd like to know beforehand what the taste is like.
"Yeah, this is clearly wet..."
Fucking LOL
Something's wet?
(insert lenny face)
And I just got a wine add. The universe knows!

Wine pranks should be an ongoing series from now on

That’s just funny gets me every time
Not to say wine experts are actually good at "detecting" flavors and such, but it is true that some people have a weak sense of taste and some have a strong taste.
Well, that's true but it's not really the point of the video. The point is that wether a wine is good or bad is very subjective and not objective as wine experts claim it to be. If you listen to so called wine experts, they will allways say that the more expensive wine will be the better one.
That's also what this experiments show. They werte confronted with the same wine, one time in a cheap bottle and one time in a more expensive one. And they claimed the wine in the expensive bottle to be better and 'more complex' although it was literally the same. The point is NOT that there is no tastdable difference between different brands of wine. The point is that wether an individual likes the taste of a wine is completly up to them and their preferences and is NOT an objective scale in which the expensive one is allways the better one.
@@xDarkestDemonx but no actual wine expert (ie a sommelier) would pretend that wine is objective. There will be some pretentious pricks who will declare their own taste objective but that's true for any hobby or product. The job of a sommelier is to use their extensive wine knowledge to help pick a wine that best suits the person, the dish they're eating, the experience they want etc etc etc. It's precisely because wine is subjective that their job exists, if it was objective restraunts might a well get rid of them and just put "buy the most expensive white/red" next to each dish on the menu
I remember in a kitchen I had to taste things because I didn't smoke. They told me people that smoked couldn't taste salt as well.
"We think of wine as a high class item..."
I certainly didn't when I downed a bottle in
I can't relate to the second part.. and congrats btw.
But I can totally relate to dowing a bottle in under 30🤷🏾♀️
You're my kind of people.
Love this series
2:19 It has been explained that color of food changes how your mind tastes the food.
Maybe the wine experts felt socially pressured by what _clearly_ looks like red wine and didn't want to embarass themselves by saying "this tastes like white wine". Because there definitely is a difference between the tastes of red and white wine, they couldn't have NOT noticed.
But yeah, even that goes to prove how much they're faking it.
true.
I think that's a fairly good point, although it's not entirely impossible for them to not notice. The human brain is easy to fool, it could've been a sort of placebo effect. However it's highly unlikely for it to simultaneously occur between 54 "wine experts," and what you suggested is probably what happened.
Although on the other hand, there have been other studies that if you give a group of people two of the same thing and tell them to find the difference, they'll often swear that there are differences and even agree with other members of the group as soon as they mention something!
So in my opinion, it's less to do with the "experts" faking it, and more to do with them truly believing they're tasting different wines, and that their minds are just convincing them that there are differences - even though there are none.
If you look at the study they were actually wine students which is not the same thing as experts.
the main difference, i would say, is that white and rosé are drank cold, while red is drank at room temperature. It really changes the way you percieve the taste.
But even if therer is a clear difference, they could have thought that the red was just a particular red that tasted close to a white wine.
That's because color affects the taste.
2:51 That face can be a meme
People give themselves ANY REASON TO DRINK POISON 😂😂😂
They're here for a good time with a fatty alcoholic liver, not a long time
I love Trapp’s voice as the wine prank guy.
I've worked in hospitality for years... and this was so.. refreshing.. to watch

This was a little exaggerated. You said that Frederick tested 54 wine experts, but the article you listed said they were undergraduates.
ikimu maritsu they where expected wine people..
Where are the listed?
People who live in a part of a wine culture area more often than not, can tell the difference, through its possibe the school is just sells zertificats. But you can tell the difference with experience with wine. I am suspecious of the school they tested thou. Body tells how heavy and dark, in chocolate terms the wine tasts. In fact more refined chocolate and wine have a lot in common regarding taste. And chocolate taster exist too, and you can tell the difference between different chocolates, and wines if you havent killed your sense of taste.
Especially since quite a few wine tasting competitions now feature black opaque glasses that make color irrelevant
@@jonsnor4313 ;=; why am I feeling weird(bad kind) reading this.
this video makes a good point about snobs being that better off, but the tests are more so proof of psychology than anything. it’s been proven that just seeing or thinking things about what we eat or drink can change our experience of them. like, if we’re told one cake is more expensive than another, we’ll distinguish them even if they’re the same
I love the way trapp did the wine pranks voice
Educational AND extremely funny... I love this series

“Wine is wonderful and wine tastes different it’s just totally subjective”
PREACH.
I go to a scotch tasting every now and then and we have a lot of fun reading the descriptions aloud and then trying to detect the odors, mouth feels, tastes, and finishes and, while I agree there is a pretty broad range across these traits, they rarely match, for me, the description on the bottle. We also have a lot fun, as the evening winds on, making up our own descriptions.
Hmm... But white wine tastes nothing like red wine... that's not about the label, they're from different grapes.
He said that the study took a type of wine, split it, then just put food coloring in one.
Cole Aguirre I know. I'm saying that wine is not *All* the same.
so what?, nobody said they are
Rei Bob yea but a lot of the times we think we can subjectively sense the objective difference we actually cannot, that's the point of this video
Haochi Zhang Yeah I understand. At the time I was replying to a specifc sentence he said. It wasn't the overall point of the video but I think it gave too much the impression that it's all the same, even when clearing it on the of the video.
