some time ago (sorry I have not got a reference, but my source was a
senior WSET tutor) a "champagne" tasting in Paris was carried out in two
stages:

1. all wines blind - a particular wine came top


2. all wines "open" - the same wine came bottom

the wine in question:

Nyetimber, produced in West Sussex, England
