    it just suited your taste better, it certainly wasn't nicer...

    and no, it's usually not. generally you get what you pay for

    I'm not a big wine drinker but i was at dinner with 5 people who like and know their wines. They all agreed the cheap bottle was a nicer and better quality wine.

    I dont have a cultured pallete, the expensive bottle was a gift given to me a few months ago and today was an occasion to open it. Compared to the cheaper bottle it tasted bland and watery whereas the other was full bodied and crisp.

    Price and value are definitely not the same thing in this case

    Man I've prob drank more wine in my life than all other alcoholic bevs combined. I've also taken many classes on it by some master sommeliers and have hosted several wine tastings. You would be suprised how many people prefer a lower priced wine in a blind taste test.

    are you even comparing the same kind of wine? (ie: merlot v merlot)

    what were the wines? what were the years?

    this is not true.

    many, many companies are recouping marketing and other costs. higher bottles often score under cheaper bottles. Cabs tend to cost higher than less thought of varieties, but surely aren't a higher quality.

    Jack Daniels is well known as a shitty whiskey that charges a premium because they can, pure name recognition.

    i cant remember (i've just drank two bottles of wine, but they were both french, i think the cheap one was a pinot noir)

    the pricey one was 2004

    if the $150 bottle was too new, it could taste watery.
