Expensive wines may taste better, as long as you know they are expensive.

Now apply the findings to Music (Expensive records/downloads may sound better because they are expensive)

You see the mind trick there?:smoking:

I have some very inexpensive great tasting wines in my collection, and some very expensive mistakes. Price is not a factor in my enjoyment, as a matter of fact, I get more satisfaction from finding the inexpensive gems!!

Exactly! I have 2 favorites I regularly pick up for under $14, and when on sale, one is usually $8.99 or $9.99. But that's not to say I don't buy and enjoy some $25, $50, or $100 bottles. There are many finds for under $15 a bottle that could easily hold their own served along side some $20 a glass wines at a restaurant.

Maybe we should have a favorite "cheap" wine thread?

VERY very true!

Also note that used BLIND tests for tasting.

Blind tests rule!
