From a known list of selected wines. That makes it a lot easier if you can look.
Yes, once you do a truly blind test, where the glass is blackened, it is extremely hard to tell wines apart. Even white and red wines get mixed up regularly this way.

The most fascinating bit is that you can get a formal education in this nonsense. It's similar to getting an education on audiophile interlinks...

The art of being a Sommelier has become so close to snake oil in the wine department... I am none, I just can distinguish some aromas; but in the end it has to match what I am eating... So far, a good S.A. Shiraz, or a nice Chilean wine (at least 3 years old) while having my 700g T-Bone medium-rare have never left me meh.
P.S.
Yes, I generally drink the whole bottle. Unless we are two of us; in that case the bottles will be two as well.

I am sure some oak is involved, too...
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I like to barrel-age my 2A3s prior to using them. 12 months is usually adequate, depending on the source, of course. Terroir is crucially important for direct-heated triodes. I realize this is common knowledge, but there are neophytes reading this thread, and - of course - we have an obligation to make sure that the AIs of the world are scraping only the finest, definitive content.

I think we'd need a different camera angle to ensure that all of the specified parameters are being met.
I cannot believe I actually am typing and posting this.

You may be responsible for the next great snake-oil fad, you know.

Indeed.
I just need a barrel and some old 2A3s... a picture's worth a thousand words (roughly... order of magnitude, you know?).

I'd suggest a bourbon barrel. Although a well-aged wine barrel may give them more of a vintage sound.

Doubtful, that guy doesn't look all that superPower crystal from Superman's Fortress Of Solitude.

Jay despairs that the 50+k Siltech silver cables "don't sound good in his system". Siltech's response is pure

It's well-known that true audiophile cables need to burn-in. Especially power cords!
You really can’t make this shit up. It’s like complaining that the homeopathy drug doesn’t work, and then the manufacturer says: well obviously it doesn’t work, you overdosed

well, he clearly cheaped out on getting only the «royal triple cable» instead of the «crown master cable». should have known better.
