At a recent gathering, participants did a blind taste test with three glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The glasses were labeled one, two, and three, and each contained a different wine. The participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of each wine, without considering the price. Surprisingly, there was little difference in taste between the $35 bottle and the $300 bottle.
