Don't see what's wrong with undercuts at all.

OH SHIT WHY IS HAIR SO TALL I SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM
Fucking Freakonomics, I knew it. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME ADAM, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU REFERENCE IT!
When will Adam ruin Adam for being full of shit in a marginal portion of his videos?
It's right though, tons of other studies have been conducted that were extremely similar, and not just with wine. I've had chardonnay before and I think it tastes like dogshit. Most boxed wines taste the exact same, some a bit less bitter. I prefer the cheap $8 boxes of wine anyway, most of it tastes the same and in some cases tastes better than overpriced old squashed grapes.
I had to watch a copyright infringement video in college that focused on fake wines, and it was hilarious watching wine experts bitch even though they had bought the same fake stuff for years from one "supplier" guy that gave them cheap crap.
i mean dont get me wrong, im picky with my wines purely because i actually dont like how strong red wines are. i prefer lightweight wine that's nice and sweet, but im never gonna try to objectify my opinion ya know?
With my luck, fancy restaurants are the worst. Half the time I order a bottle they try to con me into buying something more expensive by bringing me the wrong one.
At this point I just go red or white based on the food and buy the cheapest thing on the list.
Honestly, of the different wines I've tried, I ended up enjoying the cheaper ones more often than not because I'm still developing a taste for it and I feel like it's easier to tell the difference between two cheaper wines since you're merely judging the bad from the good. I've yet to try a $100+ wine that was noticably better than the cheap stuff I liked.
A bad wine is going to be bad no matter how much you've spent on it - and naturally, the inverse is true as well. You could sit down at a restaurant and order their top of the line stuff but if the bottle had already been opened and/or they don't do a good job of storing it, suddenly that glass of wine you paid out the ass for is going to taste like a $10 screwtop. Hell, you can even get some old expensive stuff that has never been opened and the cork could fall in and ruin the whole bottle. I'm not saying that people that spend more than 50 bucks on wine are idiots, but that there's definitely a point of diminishing returns. I really feel like the notion that expensive wine is just [i]soo[/i] much better than your average-priced stuff is just blown out of proportion since 99% of people probably couldn't tell the difference in a blind taste test anyway.

gotta have some explorative spirit man, look into what's out there before dismissin' it like that
My hangovers can pinpoint cheap wine expertly.
I'm going to stick with my Gin.

Eh, I'm a fan of extremely dry reds and the super cheap ones just don't taste good to me. I've got an $8 bottle one that I love. There's a $15 one too that's really good, but it pretty much tastes the same as the 8 so fuck that.

At dinner parties I drink chocolate milk. As expected I'm the most interesting person there.
As much as I agree with the video, I'm fairly confident I could at the very least tell a red and white apart from one another in a blind taste test.

The point of a lot of these studies (aside from fucking with people who are up their own asses) is to showcase the power of suggestion. Taste is, at least in part, governed by what we see. You'll taste what you're expecting to taste in part, and the differences in different types of wine aren't always strong enough to overpower what your other senses are telling you. If you were to have the wines without any introduction at all, nor any idea of what they looked like, you'd be able to tell they were the same wine.
thanks for the lesson johnny bravo

The only wine I can drink.
Because it doesn't even taste like wine, it tastes like a alcohol-y fruit juice.

I guess I have to agree since apparently, I'll sort of die if I drink it :v:
This reminds me so much of coffee. Sister-in-law thinks she knows coffee so I had her do a blind taste test with her fancy organic fair trade shit and some Costco arabic coffee, and she liked the bulk Costco stuff more. And honestly, so do I.
And then there's Starbucks. Tastes like burnt shit, sells like crazy. How?
In all fairness, the kirkland branded stuff is shockingly high quality usually. It is either excellent for the price, or just straight up excellent all around.

I can't wait for that to come into Canada.
Basically the only reason Costco can't is due to bullshit laws.
An expensive bottle of wine does not always mean a good bottle of wine, I thought this was pretty obvious? But you simply can't ignore the fact that production quality, grape type, soil, the rainfall that year will have an effect on the wine just like it would have an effect on every other kind of fruit or vegetable. And with more expensive wines you end up paying for the bottle/the brand but also you pay for higher quality crops since they can afford to toss out more of the produce. There is also the fact that a bad batch sold can severely damage or ruin an established/expensive winemaker while the cheaper ones don't have this worry so the quality between the bottles can vary immensely depending on which particular bunch of grapes were used.
I'm still on the fence about wine tasting. I know what I like and I know if I like a glass of wine regardless of its price. But I have to say I've noticed cheaper wines have a vinegary sharp taste (would that be the dryness I wonder) that I hate more than slightly more expensive bottles. Completely personal preference though. Also watch the documentary Somm on Netflix for a fairly impressive demonstration of wine tasting skills, even though I'm not fully convinced it actually happens the way it is portrayed.

My big confusion is why we care so much. I've never had and never will have wine, but expensive or not expensive, high production quality or low production quality, it's just a drink. It should matter about as much as orange juice as far as I can tell.
