Brainfade Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 You do realize that the 'wine snobs' you're :finger:ing happen to value certain Merlots more than most wines? Look up the prices on a bottle of Le Pin' date=' Chateau Petrus or a Masseto...[/quote'] Insane - a bottle at $1600? That's almost as much as I paid for my 1995 Ford Ranger! Which begs the question - does price .. err... "value" reflect taste? A couple of interesting articles on wine-value vs. wine-taste: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-9849949-39.html http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/4683/ Key points: Same wine tastes better in a $90 bottle than in a $10 bottle. More (from http://petermartin.blogspot.com/2008/07/sunday-dollars-sense-wine-experts-are.html): The experts are expert at something. But it appears not to be at predicting what you and I will like. In fact the study suggests we will be more likely to find what we like if we use their recommendations as a guide for what to steer clear of. The researchers say this might be because the experts have developed acquired tastes. But they are acquired tastes that aren't much use as a guide to the rest of us. Of course in the real world away from blind taste tests, reviews and prices do matter. Your guests might be offended if you plonked cask wine or a $2.50 cleanskin on the table. My advice is to buy it and pour it into an expensive well-reviewed bottle.
