Details

In this example of a "ranking task," 80 (simulated or fictitious) assessors ranked 6 red wines from Burgundy (France). The assessor first chooses the most relevant dimension for these wines and then positions the wines on a scale from 1 to 9 for this dimension. The names of the assessors is composed of 4 characters of the general composition w/ma/f01 : 80. The assessors were 40 men and 40 women (first character w/n) and 40 American or 40 French (second character a/f). The red wines that were tasted are Irancy, Saint-Brie, Beaune, Nuits (Cote de Nuits), Beaujolais, and Beaujolais-Nouveau. Irancy & Saint-Brie are near the cities of Auxerre and Chablis, Beaune & Cote de Nuits are from central Burgundy, and Beaujolais and Beaujolais Nouveau are from the south of Burgundy; Beaujolais Nouveau is a young wine (a primeur) released in November of its year, after only a few weeks of fermentation.
