    Burgundy, Bordeaux, Barolo, Barossa. Some of the biggest names in wine all start with the same letter, so we've put eight of them into one blind tasting.

    Every wine is poured blind and in random order. You might find a white where you expected a red, or change your mind on a wine you were sure of ten minutes earlier. Your job is to place each one in the right region.

    Along the way we look at how climate, grape and local tradition shape each region, and why Barolo and Barossa taste so different even though both are known for power. Once the guessing is done we reveal all eight, then finish with a glass of Barsac, label showing.
