Drinking: How to lie about wine
Oct 30, 2012
(Economist) - THE notion that you would enjoy drinking wine reminiscent of “petroleum” is not for everyone. Nor do the same words mean the same things to different people. One man’s “fruity” is another man’s “wet bin”. Little wonder then that wine enthusiasts are often dismissed as pompous bluffers.

Modelled on “Call My Bluff”, a long-running British game show, the event replaced the usual panel of earnest enthusiasts with a trio of liars.
