[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to drink a lot of wine and have a pretty sensitive palate to tell the difference between a 10 bottle a 20-30 bottle (on verge of course). Drink what you like, life is short. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

LOL that you think a $30 bottle of wine is something special.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
