"He was also fooled in some blind tastings, like believing a white wine was actually red."

This propensity (being "fooled" by white/red of a wine) is very often cited as "proof" that wine drinkers don't know what they are talking about.

In fact, the broad taste profiles of either white or red grapes - and the difference in expression of those profiles based on temperature - can make it very difficult to discern certain reds from certain whites.

"Fooling" someone with red vs. white really isn't that interesting at all.
