I think he's talking about wine-lovers - not the vast majority of people by a large margin.


Even wine-likers would be able to tell, but the vast majority of people don't know much about any given niche, by definition. It's like saying "80% of people surveyed couldn't tell the difference between an AE86 and an AE85 just by driving them". Duh but the difference is there and not hard to spot if you know what you're looking for. We need to stop conflating general unfamiliarity with impossibility to distinguish.


The blind taste tests I have seen were of self proclaimed wine lovers.
