Remember our experiment from Part 1?
We had two equal groups of untrained wine drinkers and they all tasted a particular wine.
While one group wrote a description of the wine, the other group did a crossword.
Okay. I’m not saying you should have a few glasses before a game.
What I am saying is if you know what helps you be better at Wine Tasting – and why – you’ll know what sort of practice and training to do so you get the best results in a game.

Don Bradman advised young cricketers to ‘keep their eye on the ball.’ And a long line of cricketing giants such as Geoff Boycott, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer have also said it.
But there’s a problem.
The Don couldn’t do it. And neither could Boycott, Hayden and Langer.
