The economy of wine is a complicated issue. As it turns out, though there are certainly great and awful wines, much of the value of wine is in our perception of its prestige. Given a blind taste test many experts choose the less expensive wine. Only after knowing that wine is from a far away exotic destination do the mild flavors of leather become apparent. Ultimately unless prestige is on the line, choose what you enjoy, it’s unlikely that the $10 bottle is all that different from the $1000.
