Expensive wine just tastes better…

Give one person the same wine in two bottles, one labelled with 5€, the other with 50€, will he notice? Seems like not: the more „expensive“ one will taste better.

Placebo effect? Scientists have looked at people’s brains during this test and found interesting differences: the placebo effect seems to actually work!

And one quote to take home and think about:

„We have these general beliefs about the world –for example, that cheaper products are of lower quality – and they translate into specific expectations about specific products,“ said Shiv. „Then, once these expectations are activated, they start to really impact our behavior.“
