Abstract

Analyses are made of two wine tastings, one of red and one of white wines, to compare French and American styles. It is concluded that there are differences between the wines and, in the case of the reds, national differences. It is shown that even skilled tasters can often be out by as much as 3 when judging on a scale from 0 to 20. For the statistician, Bayes factors are contrasted with F-values.
