[quote=Anonymous][quote]Based on this thread, I have revised my statement to now say there is no reason to ever spend more than $20 on a bottle. After that price, my opinion has been validated. All the dollars spent after $20 are a stupidity/snobbishness/insecurity tax on try-hard social climbers. [/quote] You are correct. All the blind taste tests of wine have indicated: (1) unsophisticated palates (and that is all of you DCUM) prefer cheaper wine ($20 and lower); and of course those wines are developed precisely to have mass appeal; (2) experts and trained professionals' preferences have no connection to price; or otherwise put, the rating of wine has no relationship to its price. That doesn't mean that a particular expensive wine is not excpetional, only that on average, they are no "better" by any standard. So buy the $18 wine! (Secretly, you'll like it better!) [/quote]
