A well-known legend in the wine world has a venerable trader asked when he last confused a Bordeaux with a Burgundy. He replies, "Not since lunchtime." Adored by some, hated by others, the often ignominious art of blind tasting - that is, the attempt to identify a wine without seeing the label - is brought to light in the new issue of Noble Rot.

In this number:
