I drink wine at home and beer at bars. Lately I find that beer has much more taste. I've conducted many blind wine tests as well....same results as everyone else ))

Drinking wine right now had few double IPAs at lunch
Yes, I’d agree that your average person is often fooled in blind tastings, but aficionados and professionals get it right more often than not. Watch Som if you want to see what’s involved in the master sommelier test. People are naturally influenced by seeing the label and having expectations based on the winery/reputation/cost.
