- 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.

But if I buy the $6 wine, how will people know that I'm better than them?
Old joke about wealth and status in post-Soviet Russia:
"Look at this Rolex watch, I bought it for $500."
"You got ripped off. I know a place that sells it for $1000."
Buy the really expensive bottle one time, then refill it with cheap wine. Problem solved
Whiskey?
@@grimjawx1650 cause people value the price they paid, not the product itself, that is what the whole video on wine is about....
@@grimjawx1650 Because the joke is about people who want to show off how much money they spend, not get the best value for their money.
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.
Absolutely. Liquor prices, generally, are affected by a logarithmic increase of price over quality. Ever-smaller increases in quality cost ever-greater amounts of money. You can see the same general trend in cars, houses, and other consumer products. There are such things as faulty wines, and there's certainly some real rough ones, mostly sold by the demijohn, but even commercial box wines are almost always perfectly sound. And after that, it's only a matter of taste.
Is it though? Is it the same with food? Or art? Is quality subjective? I like cold cheap pizza, but i'm not gonna claim its good. I think you gotta diferentiate between personal subjective experience and collectively agreed upon reality. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a cheap wine, or junk food, or the latest GoT season, but you have to be aware of the fact that those are objectively poor products.
ziglaus he doesn’t mean the only good wine is the one you like to drink just because it’s ur preference🤦🏾♀️ he means to YOU. If u like cold pizza you can claim it’s good because it’s good to you. Op was talking about how your own subjective preference is the only thing that matters on what and how you enjoy what you like and your going on a rant about objective quality when it was never even the point of his comment. Also cheap wine isnt correlations with objective inferior quality as the video shows repeatedly. People just like being snobby about it. Because they change their “objective” ratings depending on the label without knowing its he exact same wine. Or contradict themselves in countless other ways when trying to give an objective quality rating to the wine. Anyways, the op obviously don’t mean your subjective preference is supposed to be everybody else’s new objective standard. That’s absurd and makes no sense, so ur tangent was kind of unnecessary tbh.
CPT Fields not true. Expensive alcoholics like whiskey or some vodka brands are just distilled way better and use finer resources.. For red wine it’s the age and location of the crop that can make a huge difference
Not entirely. There is a clear difference in quality and taste between, say, whiskey, if you pick the cheapest, and middle to high end. However, at some point you reach a threshold where you just pay for the brand.
Me after tasting $1600 wine: *hmm yes tastes like bankruptcy*
This made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂👌👌
only if you cant afford it!
Hmm.Taste like 5 dolkar wine
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!
Never spend more than 10 euros for wine
You're fired.
$15-20 range is still perfect for me and there is a lot of quality to be had in that range. However, I recently tried a glass from a $250 bottle of Napa Valley 2014 Syrah and was blown away by it. It was very noticeable to me the difference in quality. Doesn’t mean the cheaper stuff is bad, but I think most people can tell the difference between cheap and expensive
@@jacob9540 did you know the price before drinking as that can heavily affect the perception of a food or drink? When experts cant be distinguished from random people who like a drink I'm inclined to believe its its mostly pompous nonsense.
Correct if me im wrong but i've been working with wines for a few years now and i havent been afraid to try ANYTHING whatsoever but after trying so many wines from so many price points i came to the conclusion that After ~$30-$50 price point , wine becomes less about the quality of the wine and more about the Region, Brand and rarity (because of the process its made) + The demand of it from marketing. There's so many $20-$25 dollar bottles ive enjoyed WAY more than some $60 - $70 bottles i bought. Theres ALOT of snobs in the Wine biz who try to push certain narratives that just arent true.
" I'm glad I have a cheap taste, it makes my life easier "

You're great! This is exactly what this video is about.
Yeah we all watched the video
the "same grape" doesnt mean anything when it comes to wine production tho
Not only that, but those three bottles, one is from Napa, one is from the Central Coast, and one if from Chile. Terroir, even to untrained pallets makes a huge difference.
@@kencharm2909 Terroir isn't actually that important. Wine is mostly defined by the production process itself.
Nope. Wine is made in the vineyard. Terroir is all. Any winemaker will tell you that. There's no magic "transformative" process that alters the character of the fruit, only winemaking that's either sympathetic to the fruit's flavour profile, or it isn't.
@@sentimentalbloke185 Also, while things like acidity or body are related to the micro-climate of the vineyard (=terroir) the fruit flavour of the wine is not affected or defined by that at all. Stop spreading nonsense.
You've obviously never met a winemaker in your life, buddy. You're the one spreading nonsense. Terroir refers to every aspect of the vineyard position not just its climate (& micro-climate). Go talk to a Burgundian about terroir & clone selection. Wine is made in the vineyard.
Another episode on: “I didn’t need to know this, but cool anyway.”
Well, actually this you should have known in the first place. The importance of this is amazing! It shows that lables can change the way people percieve things. Not only wine.
Also that is how the whole advertisment system works. By labling I mean.

Portuguese wines, which are generally quite cheap, perform very well in blind tastings. I always assumed that judges can't be suitable when they know which wine they are tasting. This is the proof.
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. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah that's a good trick, especially if you aren't planning to have a great reputation in the future.
@@deadeyeduncan5022 lol What reputation? Any restaurant selling wine make like 400% on the wine.
@@deadeyeduncan5022 but the wine is so subjective that even if you pay a lot of money and don't like it, you could easily delude yourself into thinking it's just not your kind of wine.
I believe it!
Deadeye Duncan I don’t think what he did was bad. He said the wine was very good but got stuck because people were not realizing it’s quality. After he changed the price, it changed the client’s perception of the value of the wine. We buy many things knowing that we are not paying a fair price. Take the Apple products as example...
“Expensive wines may actually taste better after all, as long as you know that they're expensive".
Maybe taste worse after all too
@Steve Nunez Yes. Taste and grape together make about the 10% of the price(you can't sell juice instead of wine right?), winmaker ‐ 90%.
@Steve Nunez Well, you're right. Even so I think people should not chase pleasures. If you can be content with wine for 5 dollars then it's easier for you to live. I personally do not drink alcohol at all because that is a very strong drug that can lead to dire consequences.
That's true for everything in life.
Mmm, I can taste the Jackson’s.
Americans: they couldn't tell the difference between an Amarone and a Tavernello if their life depended on it, but when some Managers tried to change Coke's formula they were about to start a revolution.
Ever heard of "terroire" it applies to Americans also.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Steve N. 2 dollars a bottle. Where are you at?
100%
Even wine tasters can't tell.
Several things can be simultaneously true: price is no guarantee of quality, and a bottle of $80 Caymus is going to be better than a bottle of $10 Mondavi, every time.
True, unfortunately. I've been drinking wine for close to 45 years and I can count on one hand the number of truly great wines that were cheap. It's wonderful when it happens, but it doesn't happen often.

@@kryskrys6428 Most people would say balance and complexity. When you taste cheaper wines, you can usually easily point out some element of it-it’s fruity, it’s very dry, it’s oaky, etc. With a great wine, no single element is more prominent than the others. But really what makes a good wine is up to the drinker! The more objective question is what makes a wine higher in quality than another wine

It reminds me of the Bob's Burgers episode where they are doing wine tasting with an expert on a train or something, and one of the tourists takes a sip and looks to the expert and says, "Oh boy! I can't wait to find out if I like this or not!"
1. Those “medals” and wine competitions are not taken seriously by anyone in the wine world. The “judges” at those things are rarely seasoned wine experts and these things are really more of a promotional sales tactic for cheap wine companies. No serious wine producer partakes in wine competitions.
2. It’s worth noting that the example shown here about Robinson and Parker giving two different ratings to Chateau Pavie is a very rare example and it’s clear that the reason is because Chateau Pavie is somewhat of a controversial wine that Jancis Robinson has an issue with. Pavie is making wine in a style that is much bolder and richer than a classic Bordeaux, more along the lines of a Napa Zinfandel, and Robinson has made it clear that she does not approve of this, while Parker and other wine critics still think Pavie is a great wine, regardless of whether it adheres to old traditions. Famous wine critics almost always give very similar ratings to wines, this video uses one rare example to argue a point that isn’t really true.
This probably happens in every industry. I Hangout in the audiophile space and they go through the same thing lol.
So wine is similar to modern art.

What I learnt: Get cheap wine, put in expencive bottle, profit
don't you have to buy the "expensive bottle as well" or do you just buy one expensive bottle and reuse it?
You can do something even crazier...
Tap water in an expensive bottle. Penn and Teller did an experiment on that, iirc.
If it's 10 cents to make and distribute per bottle and they go for 6 bucks, that's 6000% ROI!
you could even mix that wine with vodka and make the ultimate lady killer
hahahahahaha no no no
"FIGI water"
Reminds me of the story of Grey Goose vodka, where some aspiring entrepreneur realized there wasn't a "French" vodka, so they made a regular old vodka in France, called it "French vodka", and charged twice market price for it. Marketing really does work
I'm not really a wine person, but I spent the weekend visiting different wineries in napa. What I learned was interesting. There were some touristy wineries where all of the darker red wines tasted similar - regardless of price point. What made it less appealing was that there was often a funny after taste. Then there were other family owned small-production wineries where you could tell the difference between varietals and the years of production. I think that there is an art to winemaking that can't be overlooked in its importance. The same is true for beer and food as well. The other factor with wine tasting and the wine competitions is that people are susceptible to palate fatigue. I think the most important thing regarding wine is that people need to know what it is they want from their wine/beer/food and then they can determine their need.
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.
price tag isn't subjective tho is it
MrWIWARD plus as the research they showed in the video states, people often disagreed with their own subjective judgements on the exact same wine for....reasons I guess. I think it’s safe it say these people are making this up as they go along🤷🏾♀️
But what is the point in raising the production costs of a food if it doesn’t make it taste better.
Sophia it tastes better to some people and if those people pay more for that flavor, so be it.
@@NickHunter this neither gives nor take away anything from what the guy said
Wine experts nearly always refuse to taste a wine without knowing what's on the label for fear of looking foolish and possibly losing their well-paid cushy job.
I live in SW France and can buy wine direct from the cooperative for 1.20€ a litre [bring your own bottles]
It is a very drinkable wine but for my birthday I splash out on their "superior" red wine at 1.45€ a litre.
A votre sante!!!
Graham Bunton :
Smart!!
Okay but on average we don't pay what you pay for the same wine cuz marketing and shipping costs and also anything from SW France is widely considered to be main culprit of overpriced wine despite it's lesser quality in blind tasting competitions IN FRANCE compared to regions in similar climates like Napa Valley or Chile.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)
@@itsmederek1 True, I work in the industry in Chile, most of our wines are Superior to either French or US wine, yet the prices are always very low. My advice, don't check the prices, check the D.O (denomination of origin), the variety, the vintage (to check how long the wine has been on the bottle) and lastly, the ageing time and where was the wine aged, French oak barrel? American oak? What kind of wood was used if at all. Also, Cabernet Sauvignon is the absolute worst variety to drink on it's own, its way too strong and complex, specially if it is a young Cab like that 120 Santa Rita bottle.
In that case these "wine experts" aren't experts, they're just snobs. An expert who actually knows a thing or two about wine would definitely try to challenge himself by tasting a wine he knows nothing about.
You're wrong my friend.
I also live in France and I also already bought wine from the producteur...pomerol for 150euro per 32 l. I wasn't really pleased but it's a awesome wine for the price.
Nowdays a lot of wine tastings are done blind...because the experts are aware of this problem.
Also I think you oversimplified the subject here. Of course there are myriads of cheap and good wine's especially in France.
Here you have a good choice of quality and variety but that doesn't mean that cheap wine is better than expensive one.
It also depends on the ways the wine is produced.
I think you agree that a wine for which the grapes are selected by Hand willbe more expensive than a wine made by a cooperative Wich doesn't really care Mitch for the quality and has maybe really low benchmarks for their wine's.
I tried lots of different wi es and I tend to buy wine around 10 euros a bottle depending on the appellation because it's easier to get something really good like this.
You think you dring good wine there for 1.25...good for you but there are different tastes and different desires.
A votre santé !
Laughing in French where you have actual good wine for 2€ and the great wines are around 12€
For 2€ are you sure about that ? Be careful about what they put in it ...

@@schievel6047 Wine is more expensive in North America because there aren't that many places it can be grown. The largest wine producing region is the Great Lakes area, roughly corresponding to Chicago, Ohio, and Toronto.
@@Andrew-gn9qp might be part of the reason but the 3-4$ is not just German wine but also French, US-American, Chile, Autralia and what not
So I think the price difference is not just of geographical reason
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.
I'd prefer coke and hoes.
What do you do lol
I was a phone clerk in the crude oil pit on the floor of the NYMEX before electronic trading started and it was still open outcry. I used to take orders from companies looking to buy or sell Crude oil futures.
But did you know the price before you tried, or knowing anything about the wine you drank. Other then this glass has wine in it and this one does as well. Because that altered how you tasted it, most likely. Then again i guess it doesn't matter. Since wine tasting is 100% bullshit, since it all comes down to personal preference and ones only views of the win.
Have you even gone wine tasting? Or you watched a youtube video and now you're an expert.
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
labobo hasn't happened yet, once they recognized the fancy bottle as one they'd had a few times and noted how it tasted weird but I just shrugged it away and said "really I don't taste anything" and though he still looked confused he didn't say anything else, I did switch to a different cheep wine after that
Gnosis Anyone with some sense would straight away know something is suspicious if the wine bottle isn't opened and served to them in front of them.
It just doesn't happen, and if it does then there is obviously something devious happening. It's the same as getting an injection at a hospital or whatever, they have to bring the syringe and disinfectant wipes to you sealed in their sterilized packages and must open it in front of you so you can see it is new, clean and sterilized. Never let anyone inject you or pierce your skin if they 'pre-opened' the items out of your sight. Big no no.
***** hasen't come up yet most of the people we know know that we don't finish entire bottles of wine in one siting, but then again most know its cheep wine and we just bring out a fresh bottle of that, this is only for fancy meal situations
Gnosis Hilarious! But be careful who's coming to dinner. That trick wouldn't work on me. I taste new wines every week. With rare exceptions, price equals quality.
Sach966 The findings are too broad brushed to be taken as any form of gospel. I make my living selling wine table side. To be sure, there are many people who write for wine magazines who have no clue what they're tasting so these so-called "wine experts" were outed by their own incompetence in the study.
What I do for customers is recommend top values in any price range. I also cold read the guests to decipher the depth of their wine experience and preferences so I can match them with a wine more likely to please their individual taste at their level of wine education. This gets pretty easy after 20 years of practice.
No doubt, the world of wine is mostly bullshit. But like the subjective world of modern art, just because there's a lot of bullshit in the galleries does not mean there is no such thing as true modern art.
So I'm not fooled by labels or pricing. Someone may have me taste a wine blind and ask me what I think. The basic non-geek response will be something like, "If this wine is under $50 it's a great value. But if it's over $100 it's a ripoff."
The thing is, there are differences in wines, but other things affecting you at the moment of tasting can be more significant. Your mood, how tired you are, what you were eating earlier recently, etc - the impact of these are often more powerful than the differences between wines. Tiger Woods may be a better golfer than me, but if we're golfing in a hurricane, it may be hard to tell.
That being said, as the video showed at the beginning, in a controlled environment, you can often at least tell the difference between an expensive and cheap wine. The expensive ones will often have something special done to them, like spending much longer in wood barrels, which can create tastes difficult to generate in mass-produced bottles. That doesn't mean they are *better*, in the same way that a caveman wouldn't say truffles are better than pizza, but they are different. And while I've had some very expensive wines that were wasted on me because I wasn't in the right mindset, when you are in the right mood and hit a wine with a unique and deep flavour profile, you can have a lovely time.

That was literally a plot point in a manga I read. Someone broke a really rare and expensive wine that was reserved for an important customer so they had to find a replacement. They ended finding something from the same vineyard but way cheaper and tasted almost exactly the same. The story is Drops of God and it makes a point to highlight cheap wine that rivals the most expensive wines.

You should say that American expensive wine is for suckers, as every American product "quality" is based on Marketing. No tradition whatsoever, just marketing.
Hajhahahah spot on!
That’s how it is everywhere in the world but everyone likes to point their finger at americans
@@xammeron3842 Nope, it's not. In Europe you have brands and grapes that have a tradition and the wine is made in specific regions and it has been like this since before the United States even existed as a country.
Ok I’m European but you need self awareness, what you’re essentially saying is that Americans attribute intangible factors with the quality of wine, I.e. marketing and price might make you think the wine is better but doesn’t affect the taste. Fun fact neither does the tradition or history of a vineyard, those are also just factors like price which you attribute with the quality of wine but which don’t improve the taste. Your stance is hypocritical, lacks self awareness and worse yet reeks of this strange form of elitism where your intangible factors are somehow better which, given you make fun of the price of the wines listed and the fact it doesn’t affect the quality ( which in and of itself is an kind of snobbery amongst wine drinkers) makes your whole argument pretty unaware.
@@GusStat The Japanese have the word shokunin to name a person who dedicates their life to master one craft, like making sushi for instance, and this person usually learns from his father who learned from his father, and so on and so on. So tradition does matter if you are aiming to do something sophisticated and sublime. There are people in this world called sommelier who studied for years to learn one thing: to taste and evaluate wines. Which basically means that you are saying that these people don't have a reason to exist. The reason some wines are more expensive than others has to do with the quality of the grape, the time it takes to make it as some wines need to rest more than others, and how many bottles of that wine were made, which makes them more exclusive. Then how exquisite and unique the taste is compared with other wines in the same year or from the year before. Some people are more sophisticated than others when it comes to wine. Some people are sophisticated in the car they choose to drive, others on clothes, others on films, others on music. So when someone comes and just says that it is all the same thing and price doesn't mean anything, I wonder if they would apply the same logic to the car they drive, our the clothes they wear, or the concerts they choose to go, or the food they eat, as it is all the same thing.

Differentiating between wines is like any other hobby: it takes actual interest in the subject to be any good at it. For instance, people who don’t care about cars couldn’t care less if they have a turbocharger in their engine or not.
Perfect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That's not the point of the video. When even professional tasters are unable to consistently rate wines, it's not just a matter of being interested in a hobby. If you want to compare two engines, it's easy to look up horsepower and fuel consumption and make a choice, and a professional driver will always be able to tell you that a Ferrari performs better than a Fiat Panda.
Try to put two fanboys discussing wich is The Best car: Ferrari, Pagani, Bugatti.
It is beyond The numbers. We are in subjective territory. Wine is At that territory as well. And it is ok.
@@leonardoaraujo8364 you keep missing the point though. These supercars are more or less in the same price category. If expert drivers couldn't tell the difference between a VW golf and a bugatti Veyron that would be embarrassing
I agree. So, do your own blind testing and choose The Best Wine for you. The everyday one. Wine is very subjective.
And only go for the expensive ones if you learned enought about Wine in general.
Lots of People (and some "specialists") dont know enought.
My dad used to be a professional sommelier and he was at a level that was just below top in the world. He could legitimately know the exact wine he sipped from that alone
Don’t bother. Most people on this video have no clue what they are talking about and you won’t convince them. There is a very appreciable improvement in wine quality up until around 50 dollars. That being said I know $12 bottles that easily could be sold for 3-5x that quality wise and hundred plus dollar bottles that should cost a quarter of their price.

Blind tasting is also way more fun!!!!
Doesn't even have to be alcoholic, any other way is clownery
@@judyjohnson9610 there are simple explanation to this. When you're smelling something your brain bypass informations that it already knows. It's a survival mechanism. You don't need to smell everything but only what is new. For example: you have to taste 3 glasses of the same wine, in the first one you smell wood, in the second one banana and in the third one chocolate. Your brain in the third glass always smell banana and wood, but your mind bypass the first and second aroma for the third one. And also you're trick by the experiment to think they are different and you subconsciously assuming that they are. Only a triple blind could be useful, this experiment is not a valid one.
@@internautapopo2766 there have been a lot of variations on this experiment. I am sure there is one out there.
Vox is like buzzfeed, only it's actually good
Only they dont copy/paste or steal their information from reddit, imgur and other original creator from various sites
Who do you mean by "they", Vox or BuzzFeed?
Vox. Obviously.
Or it isn't full of whale feminist
It's [Vox] very entertaining without going so far as tabloid journalism. Personally I'm a really big fan of their production value.
I can distinguish whether whisky is expensive or not. But that is very hard for wines.
Price doesn’t equal quality. Wine is all about understanding both the wines and your own palate.
Also, every bottle is unique. Even if it’s the “same wine”
Except the Australians
True, I've tasted different cabernet sauvignons from different bottles in Australia and different regions, some from Barrosa and some from Coonawarra. The best one I've had is from Coonawara. And the Coonawara one is a bit more expensive
Vox is like a classier better buzzfeed

When I drink wine I don't drink for the taste smh
I drink to get drooped. I just chug the whole bottle and then hope the room will start to move
Isn't that why cheapo beers exist? Hell, if you just wanna get drunk even vodka would probably be a better choice. It's certainly got liquid courage in it than wine does.
Just toss a shot of cheap vodka in your cheap wine. It won't taste any worse than it already does, but it'll get you drunk twice as fast.
chilean here, we only drink for taste
we hate wine drunkness
Who drink wine to get drunk? With the average being 9-15% alcohol by volume, that would take a lot of wine...
Raze
Then you've never drunken wine before
Usually anything fairly cheap I can feel a headache coming on within a few sips. I find the moderate price point is where most of the value is for both quality of the wine (avoiding instant headache) and a good taste. Anything more expensive is still roulette, but you'd hope expensive wines in general are at least always subjectively better tasting than the cheapest, but not always against moderate priced. Generally there is additional cost into producing more expensive wines, regardless if you find they taste better or not, but I'm sure most of the price is cream on top.
And how much exactly is `moderate price` ?
i’ve found that price point to be at about $20 a bottle
Wine experts are like movie critics. Their preferences rarely align with the preferences of the general public. The wine tasting scene from the Parks and Recreation episode "Flu Season 2" comes immediately to mind when I think about wine experts.
Movie critics often align with the general public though
I feel like wine critics also have the same taste as the general public. I've seen one guy who is very honest about his wine choices and how he'd like to drink these very cheap wines and even give them to his guests because they possessed good qualities. The thing is, it's probably a thing for the critics to sort of pretend to have a richer taste. And in order to get the job you'll probably need to bluff a little bit. You don't want the high end wine companies being told their wine is awful when they have a long history of being the greatest in the world for it. But this is my opinion. You can never know fully well enough
For me it never mattered if the wine was expensive or cheap, it always tasted like crap...

"The same grape" is a giant overstatement. They are the same KIND of grape, but different qualities.
Possibly different ways of using them as well.
This reminds me a lot of Bourdieu’s book Distinction. Turns out things aren’t necessarily expensive of high-class because they’re better.
Same for people.
Give some examples
Once you realize that wine experts are full of crap, wine makers are full of crap, and this is still a massive industry that is taken quite serious you can start drawing some depressingly accurate conclusions about the rest of society.

Canadian wines are great. I haven't tried American wines. I have drunk plenty of wine in Switzerland, France, and wines from South America, Australia, etc. There is no clear difference between them and Canadian wine.
I've had a $200 wine and a multi-award winning $10 wine and the one thing they have in common that regular wines don't have are the rich fruit flavors and a smooth finish (just pleasant) that most other wines don't have, which usually have the very chemically alcohol taste that feels like the alcohol was added after.... from a rubbing alcohol bottle.
Exactly
the people in the video and here in the comments have probably never tried bottles above $30 lol
I get what you are on. But I only acquired that kind of taste, when I made one personally.

@@furrycircuitry2378 Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon & One Road Shiraz
In September/October 2022, I hiked 500 miles across northern Spain (named Camino de Santiago) in 32 days. EVERY dinner or late lunch, my wife and I had a bottle of local Vino Tinto included in the fixed menu at at very reasonable prices. I figure the average price of the bottles would be around 2 to 5 euros. They were all without exception more than acceptable, some excellent. They probably would command 30 to 50 dollars in the restaurants in California where I live. Another thing about Spanish wines, they are very food friendly. Mostly between 11 and 12 ABV.
Im currently living in Chile, close to the vineyard where the cheap 120 is produced. Here it costs about 2 $US and I really enjoy it!

In Brazil all cheap wines are sweeten with table sugar what makes than taste like some candy and not like wine,cheap wine from Chile is my only option
April Ludgate taught me this already
I'm someone who used to drink a lot of wine when she was younger (I enjoy a glass on the weekends still), not a wine expert, but I can tell you from experience that while it's true that a lot of the price has to do with the label and not the wine itself, generally a more expensive wine that costs $15 or more is going to taste better than Mad Dog 20/20, Wild Irish Rose, or Thunderbird. Although it depends on what you're looking for. If you're just looking to get drunk and don't care about taking time to enjoy it, then ride the Night Train to Drunksville. If you want to enjoy the taste a little better, maybe enjoy the depth of the flavors, you're usually (but not always) going to have to pay $10 or more (there are some exceptions, I've had some amazing $6 wine before and I've had $20 wine that tastes like fermented grape kool-aid left out in the sun for a week). It's ultimately though up to what makes you happy. Don't let me influence you one way or the other, I'm just someone with an internet connection sharing her opinions like everyone else.
I will simply have what I find delicious. There is a $8 bottle I go to often for dinner, but there’s a $40 Chardonnay that honestly I find ridiculously delicious and it’s a special treat for me when I can find it. It has an oakiness, aroma, and tanginess that I have not found in cheaper wines. It’s what made me a wine drinker because I never enjoyed wine before that. I was a beer person. I say do tastings without the price tag on it. I have 2 favorite cheap wines and 2 favorite expensive wines. It’s a matter of what feels right on your palate 🤷🏼♀️
So basically I could just put some Raspberry MD2020 in a fancy looking bottle and tell people its a fancy wine from Tuscany and their brain would literally not be able to tell the difference?

+Alex Golembeski They do it in restaurants all the time.
+Arlheen Rodriguez not in good restaurants
+Alex Golembeski The problem is people don't want to learn about wine. I'm not educated about win so I don't want to comment but I know many people who work in the beer and coffee comunity and there are difference in tastes. The problem is some expensive products are crap and expensive only by positioning which makes people generalize and think the high quality product doesn't exist or it shouldn't cost more (though usually the super expensive stuff is idiotic with some notable exceptions )
+Alex Golembeski if they have a trained palad they will tell the difference, but that doesn't mean it tastes better, they just have an adquired and trained teste.
.... everyone already knows this. You have to develop a pallet for certain things like great coffee, good sushi, good caviar, good art, and good wine. Then you enjoy it more. It's like you're showing a 12 year old a bunch of picasso paintings ... they aren't going to enjoy it much.
believe me, not everyone knows this, you'd be surprised by how many people like pretending that they aren't being fooled and manipulated into loving certain things and hating others.
Incorrect. Most people automatically associate the price of a wine with how good it is going to be, which is not always the case. There is a wine that will serve different pallets. People should go with what they like instead of "developing" their pallet with regard to something that is subjective. Some like box wine, great. Others want that $100 French wine, also great. In the end, isn't the point to enjoy what one is drinking?
What about their study that showed that "experts" didn't agree each other or even themselves?
Experts don't agree on art, movies, books, cars or pretty much anything so wine would be no different. An expert is really just someone who gets paid to talk about their taste (with regard to subjective mediums).
Or themselves. Wine critics don't agree with their own reviews if they doing blind tastings.
Very simplistic conclusion, it would be hard to find any southern European who would agree with this nonsense. Following your same "logic", paying for anything more expensive than fast food or highly processed supermarket food must also be for suckers...🙄
I'm not saying there aren't over priced wines, of course there are! Personally I rarely, if ever, buy wines over $40 (I live in Europe), but if you compare a cheap box or bulk-wine against an Italian, Spanish or Argentine $20 to $30 dollar wine, and you can't notice any difference in the quality, then you clearly have issues with your taste buds. Period.
The care most vintners in these countries put behind making their wines, is clearly reflected in their final taste, color, aroma, etc.
They put great care choosing the right moment to pick the grapes (picking each bunch by hand), selecting each "berry" individually, controlling the fermentation and ageing processes to the most minute detail, so you can have an interesting, balanced and great tasting wine that will go great with the local food and produce. If you can't notice that, then keep drinking Coca-Cola and Bud Light and making these silly videos.
Excellent video. The best bottles for my taste go from 20-40$$. Above that, the return on investment is very low.
Thanks.

I got a $90 dollar bottle of Cabernet as a gift. It was very good, but not 9 times as good as the $10 Cabernet I usually buy.
I've had expensive Cabernet. It was great. It also spoiled very quickly which was a real shame, we would have drank more the first night had we known.
But for wine I will drink by myself, it's hard to justify more than $15 a bottle. If I want a fancy drink I'd rather have some good whiskey.
The wine was served in the wrong glass. The shape of the glass does have an effect on the taste as it determines how much aroma reaches your nose. Open fluted glasses don't concentrate the aroma.
Actually it's a testable thing. But go ahead and brag about being ignorant.
You're the one making personal attacks.
In your world, any knowledge = bragging.
Let me guess, Trump voter?
i have had wines that i have tasted on different day's that tastes different. as i let it breath it opens up amazingly. for instance the first time i tried what is now my favorite wine COS Nero di Lupu 2014 i hated it. when i tried it again the next day it was amazing. the same thing happened with a 2012 Cannonau that i had i went from no taste to amazing aromas leather and spice in a 20 hour period.
The glass-shape even has an effect on Single Malt. I have a variety of 8 nosing-glasses and each one delivers it's own aroma. Some oppress a certain aroma, another one amplifies it.
The problem is that regarding the video and this comment-section, you mainly deal with Americans. They are used to food that almost explodes from the tons of sugar and salt in them, if I were to ask a person on this planet about taste, the Americans would be at the very bottom of the list of candidates.
Roddy Yang
Way to go... Your math-brain actually failed you to even grasp the meaning behind our conversation, what right do you have to judge my perception of the whole video, based on a discussion about how the form of glasses change aroma and tastes of liquids?
You enter a discussion without knowing what the people ar talking about only to accuse them that *they* don't know what they are talking about? I can't even take you seriously right now.
I got the point of the video fairly well. It was a video that was biased from the beginning through to the end. They try to make the argument that "the grape" is the only thing that matters in the manufacturing of wine, they set up a wine-tasting with people that never in their life experience wine before, served in mediocre plastic-cups that are laughable at best, to achieve nothing in the end, because they showed 0 results of what actually came around in their little non-representative "test" that nobody in the world asked for. Only to fill up the rest of the video with facts like "Americans get influenced by movies like madmen" and "Experts have different tastes like everyone else on this planet". Only to come to the conclusion that "If you have no clue about wine at all, you won't taste a difference in price of wine", backing that up with flawed graphs that actually showed nothing.
They even debunked their own video by saying "People that actually learned about wine, were able to distinguish and appreciate wine of the higher price-segment.
Since I know these facts, this video was just an empty shell, used as clickbait to generate money and yielded no actual value for anyone on this planet.
And now you can come and explain the part that "I didn't get". Didn't get the "statistics"? Didn't get the "maths"? Here in Germany we say "Never trust a statistic that starts with 'American scientists found out...'."
And now you should invest some time into learning what "manners" are and what "reading others posts and understanding them before opening your foul American mouth to shout garbage at them" means.
I would agree on that. I've made homemade that has tasted far better than purchased wine. And it's really not that hard. It cost me around 90 bucks to make but I had 4 gallons to drink in the end.
On a related note, I highly recommend this movie:
"Bottle Shock is a 2008 American comedy-drama film based on the 1976 wine competition termed the "Judgment of Paris", when California wine defeated French wine in a blind taste test."
FWIW, recent vintages of the 1973 wine that won the contest, Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, are now about $70 per bottle.
Since my first trip to France over 40 years ago, I was hooked. Always drink wine with dinner, often with lunch. Retired in Japan, I have a good selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from Spain, Italy, France Chile, Australia etc., typically 5 USD a bottle and all taste great.
That's pretty awesome; Retirement sure sounds great about now. Well wishes sir :)
It's pretty simple, does it give you a pounding head ache or doesnt it?
If it does- good wine
I take it this comes from personal experience. Could you tell me about which wines give you headaches? I'm a wine educator and I might be able to help. It might be that you're particularly sensitive to certain compounds or that you're simply improperly pairing the wines.
YES.. very important.
This has A LOT to do with the most common aditive in wine production (i'm involved in the industry here in Chile, South America), which are sulphites. They are widely used and there is a certain tren that the cheaper and younger the wine, the bigger the amount of sulphite it will have, since it is a pretty good preservative that helps keep this young wines stable. However, it is not a general rule that pricier wines will have less of it, but it is more likely, since they are stabilized by being in barrels for a long time. So about the headache, Sulphites are the answer, and if you want to avoid them, try a natural wine, which have none or very little.
Salud!
Something similar happened to me here in Brazil. Im from Uruguay so we basically have imported cheap supermarket robusta over toasted (Burnt) coffee,and some shady origin arabica at gold price. So... I moved to Brazil huge cuantity of brands, varieties of good coffee, i started trying almost every variety and very highly priced micro lots of arabica and you know what.. Honestly all tasted almost the same with some being extra disappointing. Now i buy a decent supermarket arabica Called Orfeo. Its 84 points the price isn't bad and im happy drinking it.
I was drinking a Zinfandel for 4,99€ a bottle. It had a fantastic flavor and had a consistent quality for some years. All of a sudden the price for the same wine rose to 8,99€ while the taste was shifting towards the lower end. I stopped drinking it some years ago. I recommend that you try different wines at different prices and decide whether you like it or not. Taste is highly subjective.
"sorta an oaky afterbirth"
LOL WTF ARE YOU SAYING
its a comedy show
I'm a wine educator, not a snob and I can tell you this, it takes time to develop the ability to differentiate between poor, average or exceptional wines and you're right, many people and most beginners can not tell much difference especially if you're really not paying attention. But for those of us who have been paying attention and building our ability to taste the difference over many years, your theory doesn't hold up. It's also a fact that everyone has a different amount of taste buds and only a few have enough to be called "super tasters" True experts can not only tell you the types of grapes that the wine is made from but what part of the world it came from, what year and sometimes what vineyard.
Your little test is seriously flawed as well because not every $40+ dollar bottle of wine is going to be amazing, just like there are occasionally very good wines available for around $10 but rarely.
The best way to really learn about the spectrum of quality in wine is to do blind tastings of the same type of wine. Pick a varietal, say Syrah or Chardonnay, buy 5 or 6 bottles ranging from $5 to $50. cover the bottles so no one knows what bottle they're tasting and go to town. Do this regularly and you will definitely begin to understand the difference between poor, average or exceptional.
Thank you very much for this comment. You put it exactly as I wanted too. It's sad that most people won't see this comment and think all expensive wine is bad.
patrickhadley No, you train yourselves to think the wine is better. "Beginners" don't care, they just want to drink some wine, so they're able to enjoy it regardless.
This video is, however, geared towards "beginner" wine drinkers. To an expert it might make a difference but to most, no. Though I do agree they should've been a bit more thorough but we are talking about Vox here so not much can be expected.
Objectively, you have to take into account the absolute fact that even so-called "true experts" can't agree on wine quality, giving cheap wine glowing reviews, while often denigrating the "good stuff" in a blind test (see the link elsewhere in this thread).
Wine is like perfume. Both can be expensive to develop, but benefit the most from effective marketing and packaging. Give it the illusion of quality and you can command a higher price.
Drink what you like. Nothing else matters.
It's like OP didn't even watch the video. It was proven that even the "experts" were completely inconsistent - even when given the same wine twice.
First, in this study there is no commentary about whether the subjects actually like or drink wine. Further, since less expensive wines are known to be sweeter (on average), it makes sense that the average Joe/Jane would slightly prefer cheaper, sweeter wines. They are intentionally designed to be more accessible to more people, and drinkable without food, and making it a bit sweeter tends to do that for the average consumer.
Second, in terms of the wines that comprise the tasting I hope the more expensive wines were aged appropriately. Taking a 2018 Joseph Phelps Insignia out for a tasting is just criminal - many expensive wines taste very different after they’ve aged in the bottle. And, in fact, they tend to taste very rough when young. The average cheap wine is meant to be consumed immediately.
the best wines quality vs price, you can find in the 30-40usd range, in Chile market. They are = or better to a 100usd French Bordeaux or Italian Brunello. Under 5-8usd in all countries are always new wine, house wines, can be ok for a simple lunch, but are always too young, and are just for unprofessional wine drinkers.
Not surprised...same people that buy thousand dollar handbags and shoes. They have money to burn and a perception to maintain.
And to salve their insecurities.
A perception of bad taste? XD
Not exactly. It more so depends on why they’re buying it. Some people just like to buy things because they understand the quality of the material, labor and overall product.
You sound one of those "perceptions to maintain".
There is a thumb rule if you are paying up to 2X of the regular price, you are going for a better thing. But if you are paying 10X of the regular price for a material, you are either being fooled or have too much money to worry about counting. And I don't the second type of people watches Vox on youtube.
+justforthetv, or they THINK they "understand the quality of the material, labor and overall product", when often (not always) it's an illusion.
A good NY strip steak or filet mignon is an example of true quality. But we're allowed to enjoy a burger made from ground round also. Of course both can be ruined by poor treatment.
Buy what you like.
So the same grape, but what else can they have done differently? Volvo and Ferrari are both made of steel...
all kinds of things. given the same volume of juice/tannin from a particular vineyard (basically crush up all the grapes/skins) and split them between x winemakers, you will have x different wines. things like yeast strains, fermentation temperature control, fermentation time, fermentation vessel, aging (barrel vs tank vs "bucket) not to mention fermentation nutrient additions, aeration to name a few. there are so many variables in wine to set one apart from the other.
lol Volvo and Ferrari don't even drive the same dude.
ProTurboX Duh, that is my point. Moron.

Kaisuke971 Ferrari do have steel in them, and older Ferraris were made of steel and you must be fun at parties. Go bore someone else with your concrete thinking...

i can imagine 42 dollars for wine isn't expensive
THAT expensive compared to more Expensive wines
Yeah try getting a good rated bordeaux for anywhere Close to $42 lol.
it actually is rather cheap
$42 is pretty pricey compared to what you can get in other forms of alcoholic beverages. A 750ml bottle of 14% wine has the same "bang for buck" as a $120 fifth of whiskey! Nobody would call such whiskey "cheap"...
Wine is a lousy value in that GOOD wine is more expensive than similarly good spirits or beer, and REALLY CHEAP wine (i.e. "bum wines" like Mad Dog and Wild Irish Rose) are positively horrific! (Think "grape Kool-Aid and rubbing alcohol cocktail.") They also give the worst hangovers known to man.
it is expensive
source: am chilean
I work at a winery and tell customers every day that the more expensive wine isn’t necessarily better, it’s just different. We all have personal preference and there’s no right or wrong answer. What you’re accustomed to makes a big difference in what you like, people used to cheaper wine will rarely favour the complexities of a $150 bottle. I firmly believe wine is just to be enjoyed and we shouldn’t overthink it, if you like it great if you don’t try something else
How different could the complexities really be when professional blind taste testers can’t taste the difference?
I'm trying to think of something I enjoy more because it's expensive so I can relate to the wine experience. I can only think of things that for being twice as expensive are only 20% better, not ten times as expensive and simply different. Oh, I have a $50 mechanical pencil that writes the same as a $5 one. So that's a good example, and I really like that pencil.
Hey guys... Wine is simple, A good wine is a wine you like period.
Giving wine rate/medal is ridiculous.
My husband bought me an expensive French champagne when we were dating. Another time he bought a cheap Germain sparkling wine. He was a little upset when I liked the cheap one better and I still love it decades latter.
I'll try to think everything is expensive from now on, so everything feels great! 😂
Americans talking and judging wine...
Also their view on wine change because of a movie 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I think this is mainly because it's not part of their culture. Where I'm from people tend to buy expensive wine in relation to its rarity, any links to our family roots or just as souvenirs from places that have a history background related to the wine. Otherwise you could just pick a random cheap one.
taste is not effected by the lead or other similar metals contams that are plenty in the cheap bottles.
What is this comment even supposed to mean? The U.S. is one of the most significant wine producing nations in the world. Typical snobbery.

@@Sogeking995 Quantity, and quality are two different things. The U.S. may produce vast quantities of wine, making it a significant producing country, but I can assure you, where quality is concerned, it's lacking a great deal.
