Why More Expensive Wine Tastes Better

Back to blog

I smile (;

Wine costs, beer costs - it's the same thing. Well, maybe not - you usually can tell which beer is more expensive. "Better quality." But I think it's absolutely laughable that people learn which beers are more expensive and thus guage the quality of beer on the price. Beer is beer. Whine probably is more discernable, but again - one guages quality on expense. And that's just silly!

I like the idea of trying a blind taste test at home, if that's what you mean! That could be a fun party.
