There is a difference, a blink is to close and immediately reopen the eyes, usually involuntarily, as when the eyes are affected by strong light. A wink is given, usually with one eye, with the eye closed a little longer that a blink, giving a hint or a signal which may have some sly meaning. Often the head is inclined at the same time at add greater effect.

^^That's true. Blinking is usually with both eyes, and usually in comes naturally. (We have to blink at some point, and it's usually an subconscious act). A wink is only with one eye and is usually meant to signalize something.

However, it is not guaranteed that they will blink simultaneously due to individual differences in blinking frequency.
