Do you judge people by the wine they drink?

I guess I meant...what does the type of wine you drink say about you, and I didn't just mean price or label.

Chardonnay = ?
Sauvignon Blanc = ?
Pinot Grigio = ?

Merlot = ?
Cabernet Sauvignon = ?
Pinot Noir = ?

Etc.

No. I drink popular store brands myself. I am impressed by people who know a lot about wine and wine tasting though.

I wish this were true. Sadly, once you start drinking the better wines in the $20-$30 range the cheap ones really taste subpar. I still drink some cheaper ones because I'm not wealthy, but you definitely tell the difference.

LOL that you think a $30 bottle of wine is something special.

Well, I think a wine may or may not be special and this can be true at any price point. On average, however, $20-$50 will get you a high quality wine that will be much better than the $9.99 Fetzer, Mondavi or Cupcake wine most folks are drinking. I've had some outstanding wines that cost well of $50/bottle (retail, not the restaurant markup); a few were truly great but most weren't better enough to justify the price.

No, but I DO judge people by the beer they drink.

Totally, I recently heard that some people drink bag-wine. They take perfectly good wine out of the box it came in and then drink it right out of its plastic bag.

Gross!

Exactly. $30 is where you can start to get something good.

Most people who actually know wine and love it are total nerds about it and much more interested in sharing with whoever is interested than judging. Trust me, someone who really knows wine isn't going to waste brain space on thinking about judging.
