Expensive wine is for suckers

You don't have to spend a lot of money on a bottle of wine. Few wine experts and regular people can tell the difference between expensive wine and cheap wine.

As with essentially all alcohols, the only good wine is wine you like to drink. And the only good way to drink it is the way you want to.

Everything else is vanity.

But if I buy the $6 wine, how will people know that I'm better than them?

“Expensive wines may actually taste better after all, as long as you know that they're expensive".

I work for a wine company. This is 100% accurate lol. Also, most expensive wines are rated highly by sommeliers because they have very complex flavors, and unless you're a wine "expert", that rarely equals better taste. $15-$20 range is perfect for most people. Drink what you like, not what's more expensive!

"This wine is gross."
"That was the $50 one-"
"AAH MYESSSS *smack smack* earthy undertine, hint of acidity, an overture of sweetness, complex myess.."

True Story: a guy I know who sells wines had one particular wine stuck in his stock a long time because no one was buying it(8$ a bottle). He then raised the price 3x more expensive and he sold everything in a blink of an eye. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hellbach]

What I learnt: Get cheap wine, put in expencive bottle, profit

[Chefmarcellett]

No offense, but Americans is the last people I will take wine tasting advice from.

Pro tip: Mix some cheap ass vodka with Cherry Kool-Aid and put it in an expensive wine bottle, your guests will love it.

[MrWIWARD]

Wines aren‘t necessarily more expensive because they are tastier. They increase in price because of production costs. Maybe the grapes are hand picked, or it‘s a rare grape, that only grows on certain soil, maybe it‘s just a small scale production and therefore more expensive. All these factors make a wine vary in price, but not necessarily influence the quality of the taste. And at the end of the day: taste will always be subjective.

[cldreyer]

that's why I have an expensive wine bottle and I just funnel cheep wine into it when for whenever I have important company, all they see and taste is a 3/4 full bottle of expensive wine

[schievel]

The moment you realize that what you consider expensive 8$ wine is actually cheap for other people

For work we were taken out to dinner in NYC and the trader who brought us ordered a bottle of macetta (excuse my spelling) which was around $10k followed by a $3000 bottle of port and honestly It was a great wine and its quality was definitely noticeable but I would have preferred a bonus check.
