[@ThisIsntmyrealnameGoogle]

He probably could easily tell, Sommelier tests are extremely hard to pass and they pull shit like that all the time.

[@jacek20]

he wouldn't smell shit. He doesn't even know how to move the glass.

[@macmcleod1188]

I've held double blind wine tasting and food pairing parties with $3,$6,$12, $15, $30, $65 dollar bottles. And folks lined them up pretty reliably except the $65 / $15. The $65 was noticeably more a perfect example of cabernet sauvignon but, it wasn't the one folks liked best with the steak (Kobe Beef). $3 is terrible. $6 is typically thin (watery). At $12 you start getting into better wines. Most people don't have (and probably shouldn't develop) a taste for the higher end wines.

[@Andres64B]

John L No way. there have been studies that show the exact opposite.

[@maximecaffarel5641]

He's somm of the year dude, if anyone knows how to smell wine, he does.

[@SheldonBeldon]

for everyone saying this guy is biased and that he couldn't tell the difference between cheap or expensive or boxed or bottled, his final exam was testing dozens of wines and saying what kind of wine it was, and what grape it was, and what year totally blind. That is almost impossible, but he can do that so honestly you have no idea what you're talking about. I doubt it's too much of a challenge for him to drink some boxed wine and tell you if it sucks or not. A bota box is a few dollars more than a box of franzia, it's not like we're talking hundreds of dollars difference for one 750 ml bottle over another.

[@jacobw5434]

except for you have to pass a sommelier test thats hard as shit to be certified, only a few hundred (229) in the world, and once you pass the test you are extremely sought after in the restaurant industry and stand to make a shit ton of money. So yeah, this guy is legit, and you're some dude who knows nothing about the topic.

[@spelcheak]

@@jacobw5434 Isn't that what he just said?

[@JCMacDonald]

hold on one sec while i chew food an just spit it onto the floor

[@morooroz]

Sommeliers do that to avoid getting tipsy/drunk when tasting wine.

[@TheBoldImperator]

not doing this blind was a mistake IMO, he's clearly got prior memories of at least some of these that influence his perception. Image and flavor go hand in hand and I'd hate to see what mental images drunken frat Franzia nights produce.

[@kevinmorrice]

wine has tasting etiquette, they judge the colour along with taste and smell

[@nitemarestlk]

he liked 2 of the 5 and only really hated 2. that could be preference of wine since we all have different tastes. I think he was rather unbiased. he even disliked a wine he used to like 20 years ago.

[@ThatGuy09890]

They should have done a blind test. He was set up for all of them.

[@rexviper8]

[@pbindulgence]

We have many blind taste videos with him, so you're wrong on that front, bud.

[@Andres64B]

Indulgence the only blind taste tests I see are for wines under $15. Never are you testing a really expensive wine against a cheap wine.

[@confusedwhale]

Others have, and they have shown the inherit bullshit of sommeliers. Drink what you like. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time and money.

[@zackstewart4138]

To become a master sommelier, you have to be able to identify hundreds/thousands of grape varietals just by smell. I think he would do okay if it were a blind test.

[@Lortenerfrisk]

baeb66 wine snobberi i a nutshell

[@seamuslight2472]

Wine tasting is scientifically proven to be total bullshit. If you're drinking actual wine (just grapes, no artificial flavoring), a $12 bottle is indistinguishable from a $1200 bottle. The vodka guy was honest about his craft.

[@tomg.9589]

If you think a bottle of $12 Barefoot Cab tastes like a bottle of $2,000 Scarecrow (or equally good Napa cab) you've never tasted the wines. Now, if you want to say that it's bullshit trying to blindly differentiate major differences in a $30 cab and a $75 cab I'd agree more often than not (and I realize price is not an indicator of quality every time).

[@MrWhite-pn7ui]

Nothing makes fermented grape juice worth $2,000 my friend. 95% of that price is for the snob label.

[@JoeLackey]

"They fooled forty different groups of people into giving them a medal." Ouch.

[@halfthefiber]

Although it was a mistake to not do the tasting blind, he wasn't really comparing the wines to other, more expensive ones that he has tried. He was rating them on their own drinkability. I mean, he gave two B+'s, and even went on at length at how one of them was quite delicious. If he was being a snob at the whole thing, none of the wines would have gotten a grade higher than D.

exactly do you want a guy to come to your party so he can criticize the drinks you bought? Even if he doesnt say it, his attitudes here suggest he would look down on your alcohol selection if it wasnt good enough rather than enjoy the party I wouldnt want some fancy food critic to come to my bbq unless we were really really good friends

[@TheLazyass111]

as someone who goes to culinary school and has dorm mates going to be sommeliers, they are the best for parties. Especially if you have ones who like bartending too. They make the craziest fucking mixes that taste amazing. One of my friends made a cocktail using whiskey and white white as well as other ingredients that he spent weeks working on. It tasted fucking awesome. What the issue is, yall have 0% knowledge of the field so you blanket it with the negative connotation. You could, and people do, do that with any career choice, but because the culinary field is a creative output, its criticized a lot more.

[@ericparker163]

Guess you missed him showing love to Milwaukee's Best? Anyone that has this guy pegged as a pretentious snob is bad at reading people. There's good and cheap and then there's shit and cheap. He's just trying to help you avoid the crap. Good on him.

😄 I've got the Bota sitting in my fridge right now. I can vouch for the B+ Its good to have around when you need/want a glass of wine but not necessarily the whole bottle.

[@Jafmanz]

what we are learning here is that minimalistic yet stylish packaging usually means an artist is involved and one with passion.... It may or may not be the producer of the wine that designed or indeed drew it. We are also learning how to recognise what to buy. they are clever are they not? still blind or not... it is what it is. People in comments making demands or getting angry. Turn your internet off, take a long walk and be with nature. Best advice ever ;)

[@shaz3r786]

[@magetaaaaaa]

I've wondered why beer tasters never seem to do this. It seems exclusive to wine.

[@RavenBloodStudios]

wine usually has a higher alcohol content. you'll get drunk much faster swallowing taste tests of wine than you ever would beer.

[@christopheraplin]

A lot of people in this comment section pretending like there isn't a difference between cheap wines and more moderately priced wines. Yes, there are bad wines at higher price points and great wines at less expensive price points. Even in this video you can see the discrepancy between boxed wines. Wine is subjective, sure, but much like dog breeding there are examples of pedigree. As someone who enjoys wine you'll rarely find me looking for wines above $50/bottle and the majority I drink are $15-25. Doesn't mean I don't actively seek out quality wines under $10 or never dislike a wine at $150+/bottle. There are certain characteristics and flavors of each grape that must be present and learning about how climate affects these characteristics means opening up your palette to different experiences. There also is a huge difference in how a wine is aged, the barrels, the processing, the storage. The best thing about wine as a hobby is that there are infinite choices, nuances and you get fucking drunk at the end. You may choose to get drunk off a cheap box or you can choose to get drunk off something that has complex flavors and immense care in production. Most of us got drunk off shitty beer in high school and college and eventually got interested in better breweries -- some people still chug natty light. In the end, no one is really wrong -- maybe you personally couldn't tell a difference between a $1,000 bottle or a $5 box. Maybe more people can't tell the difference between a stunning $15 bottle vs a poor $100 -- that's half the fun.

[@Commiefornia]

I actually tried the Franzia Merlot this weekend. First time buying boxed wine ever. Straight out of the tap it's not good. I let it sit for a while to breathe and it got better. It's not the worse wine I've had, bottled or boxed. I've had pricey wine (a cab I can't remember the label of) that tasted like a horse barn smells. I've had cheap wine (Gallo Family Hearty Burgundy) that, while having no real character, was easy to drink, not offensive and kinda nice. I've had cheap French table wine that was not good and I've had a heavenly pricey white that tasted like Lychee. In the end wine tasting is an adventure and a crap shoot.

[@filipealmeida7301]

I bought the Black Box to try my first boxed wine because i figured "can't go wrong with 40 gold medals right" , simply because i live by myself and all my wine goes bad rather quickly and i dont feel like getting drunk on a daily basis. Holy shit it was bad. I'm no connoisseur, but it smelled terrible and had this metal taste that lingers in your palate. Can't believe i'll have to throw this away...it's undrinkable

[@lancegrabow9432]

dont trust wine awards, many of them can be bought

[@blackjack2377]

I think we would have all liked to see a guy like this do a BLIND taste test on boxed wines and being told it was an expensive wine.

[@Bouchon211]

+Black Jack Agreed, but I bet he could tell if he's the top sommelier in America.

[@blackjack2377]

Bouchon211 That's debatable. Not long ago there was a huge scam which consisted of a wine enthusiast that was selling knock off rare bottles of wine from the bourdeux region that he would fabricate in his own kitchen using blends of cheap wine. Bottles that he'd in turn sell for 10s of thousands a piece. Top wine experts that would buy his knock offs (unknowingly of course) wouldn't even say anything about the taste risking that somebody would question their wine tasting abilities. So they were convinced that it had to be good just because it was super expensive.

[@Bouchon211]

Black Jack I've heard of that, he wasn't necessarily using 'cheap wine' in the blends but I do understand your point. I wouldn't be surprised if a high percentage of supposed wine experts couldn't tell and don't have an extremely impressive palate. I think some people really are amazing though, watch Uncorked, this guy was on it too. They are extremely impressive, they even call the years and region in blind taste tests.

[@blackjack2377]

Bouchon211 Oh definitely. I don't take anything away from these guys skills. I think it's just the asshole in me that would like to see them stumped by a cheap wine lol.

[@Bouchon211]

Black Jack Lol ya I would find pleasure in that too, especially the real snobs.

[@stormm787]

Reviews like this are already predisposed to a negative opinion about boxed wines. For many of us who consume these products, it is done because the cost per ounce is usually much less than anything in a bottle, except maybe Charles Shaw! And if it's consumed on an empty stomach, like at the end of the work day and before dinner, you get more bang per alcohol buck than the best bottled wine! Wine snobs can laugh at me all they want but they are really laughing at their own haughty, holier than thou, elitist mentality! So give me my Franzia Chillable Red and your attitude will just make me laugh with you!

[@theincredulousrgp6219]

Yeah franzia is the best boxed wine ive had

[@hvf26]

in australia boxed wine is known as "goon". Goon is a tradition, a right of passage if you will. When a young man or woman cannot afford nice alcohol during their university years, they buy goon as it has the highest alcohol content:price ratio. we love our goon, and trust me you would too if you knew all the good times that came with it

I think it would have been far better, if this would have been a total blind tasting with bottles wines as well. Not the box makes a wine bad, the content does. And it is important to note, that the typical boxes (with the bags inside) stay far longer drinkable than a bottle, as there is little oxygen which can spoil and oxidise the wine! (not the first B+ wine though - because this box doesn't really has an advantage to a glass bottle).

[@yermanoh]

utter bullshit, even if he was blindfolded and served a chilled white and red he wouldn't be able to tell the difference , the vast majority of wines are mass produced even the "rare" ones

[@yermanoh]

that means they couldnt tell the difference its all in the mind and marketing bullshit

[@lancegrabow9432]

he said nothing about the color. and the studies aren't on white vs red white its on different wine brands

[@busa89]

stop trying to speak facts about something you obviously know nothing about. Not all wines are mass produced. Thats literally impossible. most are small batch. Popular grocery store brands or boxed wines are made with lesser quality ingredients and chemicals to alter taste. Do you really think this can't be tasted by a professional? Plenty of cheap good tasting wine brands out there but generally speaking there is a reason why the brands he tasted are cheap and mostly drank by college kids and winos.

and how is it?

[@TheWinezen]

For all those folks who believe that wine tasting is bullshit and that a cheap bottle of wine can taste the same as an expensive bottle of wine I can say from actual data results that you can taste the difference. I actually did an experiment in public restaurant with a sample group of 240 people in one night. I used red wines and white wines. Everything was consistent. The red wines came from the same producer, they came from the same country and region, they were made with the same grapes and they came from the same year. I used the same criteria with the white wines. The only difference was one of the red/white wines cost about USD11 and the other red/white cost about USD36. The participants all tasted the same wines together from number glasses so they never ever saw the bottles. Granted there was food on the table and it was a Chinese restaurant but every table had the same foods on their respective tables. The participants were a mix of some folks who have had before and some have not. But the highest level of wine knowledge in the sample group barely crossed into intermediate territory. Most of them didn't even know distinctive grape varietals flavour profiles and could barely pronounce the grape names. Each particpant took as much time as they needed to make up their minds and they would let us know which glass of red or white they thought was which via a short survey checkbox list. The results....... 89% of all the participants got it right! That is not a coincidence! So just spend a little bit of time and resources on yourselves to develop your palates. it is worth it.

If I was going to be eating a lot of beef or pizza for a couple of weeks I’d be happy to have it handy. Best wine box for the price and when glass is restricted. I give it a river rat A+. Throw three in the raft.

I'd like to see a wine tester grade a box wine without knowing it's a box wine.

As I watch this I'm drinking a Bota Malbec. It is delicious.

Ummm . . . Ironically, I think having a a handy big bucket of regurgitated spit-out wine is more disgusting and low-class than having purchased a cheap box of wine . . . .So, suck on that . . . . then spit it out, I guess.
