Stephen Spurrier, the blind tasting pitted high-quality Californian wines against France's best. Unsurprisingly, expert French judges, imagining they would reaffirm Frances's supremacy, were shocked to be informed they had just selected Californian wines, which came out top in both red and white categories.

This result crushed the myth that only France could produce world-class wines and opened the global market to New World equivalents.
