blind tasting
Labels hidden, sipping
A blind tasting is an evaluation of food or drink—typically wine—where the taster doesn't know what they're sampling.
Labels are hidden to eliminate bias and test whether someone can identify varieties, brands, or quality without visual cues: In the blind tasting, the cheap wine beat the expensive one.
