Thunder Bay Rush Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Personally, I wouldn't know one wine from another. I only use it for cooking. I remember 30 years ago when I was working as a young prep cook in a high end restaurant in Toronto... it was not uncommon at all for someone to send an $800 bottle of wine back because it was "unacceptable." Holy shit... people like that make me sick to my stomach. Just trying to put on a big show... Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" - the perfect song for these clowns.

Perfectly fine to charge 800.00 for said bottle though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78jazz Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Sorry Alex you went down the rabbit hole with the wine aficionado,guru,collector.........Studies have been done with so-called wine experts.....in a blind taste test most experts could not differentiate between a 2,000 bottle of wine and the kind that comes in gallon jugs������������������������I doubt that. They have the most sophisticated, well-trained tongues in the world.I've done a lot of tasting and can easily tell the difference between a $5 wine and a $17 wine. But your point is still kind of true. Inside the industry, most experts acknowledge that the best balance between quality and price is at $22-24 per bottle. It gets much harder for the average person to tell the difference as the price climbs after that. If you make it yourself, it is even cheaper than that!
