Cheap vs Expensive Wine - What You're Missing

Wine Essentials

As a wine newbie (less than a month since turning legal) I'm super impressed with how many scents and flavors you can take out of a wine and hope I can get to that point someday!

[TonyTheTechnician]

Just got into wine a couple of months ago and have purchased the master guide wine folly. I started off with alot of cheap wines to try and decide what kinds I liked and have been slowly moving up in types I enjoyed. Thank you so much for all of your videos.

As a self described rookie, thank you for putting out this video.
I always have a problem trying to break down and explain to my friends why my wife and I pay $20 to $50 for bottles of wine in Washington from local wine makers.

I'm just gonna go ahead and point them to your video....lol

I would love to taste that $75 wine! Sounds fabulous. But I wouldn't be opposed to the $7 wine! Generally I stock up on wines between $7-$20 for anytime drinking and I buy bottles $25 and over for more special occasions! Although I have never spent more than $40 on a bottle... sorry, I am a cheap, cheap lady! But it is amazing what you can get for under $20 if you know what your looking for ;)

New subscriber from Julian’s review of your book...bing watching! I am a wine enthusiast who loves to learn all the time.
People ask me this question all the time...is it really 10 times better.
I laughed so much when I heard you say it is 4 times better with a chuckle.
The truth is that they are definitely way better...but the price premium, as in all luxury items, is due to scarcity of product vs demand for them.
Thank you for your approachable videos. I love to encourage people to learn about wine to enjoy them

Maybe next time you could record a blind tasting and make an analysis of which wine is better than the other one and how it is related to price?

Have you ever considered getting together with Comedy Central and doing a Drunk History epesode?

Loved the way she looked and sounded that already had tried other bottles.

We have something called Chaimans selection and Chaimans advantage in our wine stores which is basically odd lots that are bought up and not part of the usual inventory. Once in awhile there are certain wines around or under $10 (yes, $10) that are unbelievable for the price but usually unremarkable in the following vintage. They are a steal in value and taste. Once the caterers find them, they're gone.

Well, Maddy, you set yourself up for a daunting challenge. I think we all take for granted that there is not a direct correlation between the price of a wine and its flavor/satisfaction quotient. However, as a general rule, the more a wine costs, the more complex and interesting it should be. Next time you spend $75 on a bottle (of red), give me a call and I will be glad to come over and validate your findings!

[zhangwei]

I completely agree with you, much more expensive doesn't mean more quality. We import lots of Italian wines to China each year.

[craigmalcolm]

Thank you so much for a great informative presentation....

[eddielloyd]

Thank you for your video, this is really helping me in my final yr in collage in Dublin Ireland. Your website is excellent, so thank you very much...

[LuciferMorningstar-eopn]

You have a wonderful personality and I really like your videos about red wine, so you have a new subscriber. Greetings from the UK.

[DarwinsBeerReviews]

Just saw you on Somm 3. Awesome channel. Appreciate your education and will use your channel to enjoy wine!

[suginami]

Knowing my bottle is expensive excites me a lot which can quickly lead to annoyance if it’s not perfect. That has happened a lot.

[arunrana]

Great job 👍 madam I'm from India we new to red 🍒 wines
For long time I'm looking for a channel like that
Thanks 🙏 for information

I'm a little skeptical without blind tasting them myself. I've seen the study that shows your brain believes wines taste better when you know you spent more for them, and in this case I'd be pretty upset paying that much more and my brain telling me it sucked. Supply, demand, marketing (including a much heftier bottle with such a deep punt!) and other factors can push the price of any wine beyond it's limit. I respect you for being honest about it not being worth 10x more. I really enjoy your candidness, keep up the great work! I love your videos and you have such a fun personality, I always enjoy watching. Thanks Madeline!
