First, for all the descriptors, the panelist effect was highly significant ( p < 0.0001).
Further analysis by grape variety revealed that Sauvignon B wines were the most accurately identified by taste as non-Chardonnay wines, with three out of five wines showing significant recognition ( p < 0.05) and one nearing significance ( p = 0.09).
The test indicated a marginally significant trend favoring the nose (t = −1.75; p = 0.093), implying that olfaction provides better overall recognition of the wines.
Among the twelve Chardonnays tested, only one was significantly identified as Chardonnay, with two others approaching significance.
