> The two wines were actually the same white wine as before, but one was dyed with tasteless red food coloring

Yes, Oenologists assumed that the wine which was red was actually... red wine. This study is always quoted and is a sham IMO. What this is saying more than anything is "the placebo affect does work." which is totally true.

But IMO it doesn't say a whole lot about wine tasting being BS.

Of course this says a lot about wine tasting and the claims made by connoisseurs about their wine tasting abilities.

It's the kind of information that's a bit too upsetting though, even for non connoisseurs to want to accept.

Then how would you do a blind test instead?

By actually making it blind so the color of the wine dies not predispose your expectation for specific notes or mouth feel.
