$15 or $55 – Can we really taste a difference? Well most times not. At best any quality improvement between a $15 bottle and a $55 one is marginal. Oft-times there isn’t any at all. And many times the cheaper wine tastes better.
Just something to keep in mind when that next bottle is chosen. Remember – people don’t drink the label nor the price tag. It’s what’s in the glass that counts.
And it certainly does at Glug.

And another interesting view that dearer wine does not mean better wine comes from John Cleese who once invited a group of his friends over for a wine tasting. He found that his guests could not distinguish the wine from a $5 bottle of wine from a $200 bottle or from a $20 bottle. And for good measure they could not reliably tell a white wine from a red in a blind taste test.
