[quote=Anonymous]I'm hardly an oenophile but I can taste a clear difference between the $10 bottle and the $20 bottle, to the point that I rarely buy or drink wine unless it's in the $20 category. Yes, I'm that fussy, and yes, I drink little wine as a result. Maybe a bottle or two a month.

But having had wines in the $30-50 bracket the difference in quality between the $20 and the $40 bottle is far less of a gap than the one between the $10 and $20 bottles. So I never buy wines more expensive than $25ish.

I have never had the genuinely expensive wines (the kinds that cost at least a hundred a bottle) so I can't comment on those. Wouldn't mind one one day!

OP, words like gross hardly help you. Overrated is perhaps a valid word to use as the cost-quality benefit ratio likely decreases the more expensive the wine is, but I seriously doubt it gets "gross" relative to the cheap wines, which can truly be nasty. If you had a bad bottle, and wine can go bad, it's probably because you didn't store it properly.
