As you look at the label you get a lot of information. Firstly, you see the domaine or maker, the year and level of alcohol. Then you can discover the country of origin and maybe the grape variety. As well as giving information about the wine the design of the label might also be giving us ideas about whether this wine will appeal. The minute the label is covered all that information is gone and you are just left with the wine in the glass. This is key to a blind tasting. Bias is eliminated. You will be free to focus on the wine. Take your time. Concentrate on the appearance, the aroma and finally the flavours. Blind tasting is a great way to compare wines and to improve your tasting skills.
