Cheap vs Expensive Wine - What You're Missing

🍇🍷🍺 Personally I'm glad that you found something interesting about both wines.🍷🍷 Additionally I f found it of particular interest that you not only compared both wines but explained why the more expensive wine cost more money! I'm one of the people who can find something to like about most wines. & I appreciate each Style of wine for what it's has to offer. Same with 🍺 beer. I personally feel that wine has a lot of growth potential over the next 2 years. 🍷 Now wine trends see more expensive red wines gaining 2016 thru 2018. I feel that the new & most significant growth lies with Millenniumals. The wine industry is already adjusting packaging to Target Millenniumals, brighter colors with darker label background. With all that being said, the growth lies in more affordable wines, & possible also weed infused wines also fruit enhanced wines. 🍷 The problem with wine today is Wine Snobs. Saying that less expensive wines are junk!!! The thing I find ironic is that most ironic is that the wine industry is moving away from Snobs. & Looking to make selection of wines eaiser, via APS. 🍇🍷 Cheers 🍻🍷🍷

Wine price is a rip off: I bet that you would come up with different results if I was to pour the same wine in two identical glasses and tell you that one glass is $7 and the other is $70 !

Is the wine massive thooooo

Is it fair to say that Napa wines especially, and Cali wines in general, with high land and labor costs, have higher base costs than old world wines, where the land has typically been in the family forever and where labor isn't as expensive?

New subscriber from Julian’s review of your book...bing watching! I am a wine enthusiast who loves to learn all the time.
People ask me this question all the time...is it really 10 times better.
I laughed so much when I heard you say it is 4 times better with a chuckle.
The truth is that they are definitely way better...but the price premium, as in all luxury items, is due to scarcity of product vs demand for them.
Thank you for your approachable videos. I love to encourage people to learn about wine to enjoy them

Yep, If you feel the difference justifies the price variation - buy it (if you can afford it). I've had wine at 200+ per bottle and the same varietal at 45 and cannot justify the 155 difference and I can afford it but when throw good money away?

I completely agree with you, much more expensive doesn't mean more quality. We import lots of Italian wines to China each year.

Thank you for your video, this is really helping me in my final yr in collage in Dublin Ireland. Your website is excellent, so thank you very much...

Great comparison video!

Surely you've got to decant a bottle at that price or you're really not getting the whole story? I'm finding some reds need a good 2 hours in the decanter before they're worth drinking, I've even started decanting my more expensive whites, I can't stand the taste of a tight wine straight from the bottle, such a waste.

All I know is red wine's good and all else's bad


Can't tell a difference

I'm a little skeptical without blind tasting them myself. I've seen the study that shows your brain believes wines taste better when you know you spent more for them, and in this case I'd be pretty upset paying that much more and my brain telling me it sucked. Supply, demand, marketing (including a much heftier bottle with such a deep punt!) and other factors can push the price of any wine beyond it's limit. I respect you for being honest about it not being worth 10x more. I really enjoy your candidness, keep up the great work! I love your videos and you have such a fun personality, I always enjoy watching. Thanks Madeline!

I can't smell or taste those complex scents and flavors, so I go with the cheap stuff.

YOU ARE AWESOME!! these are the best video for learning .. thanks!!!!! You are very good at this.

Salvi has good brunello too

It’s the same thing with chicks

The worst voice ever heard by man. Omg

We have something called Chaimans selection and Chaimans advantage in our wine stores which is basically odd lots that are bought up and not part of the usual inventory. Once in awhile there are certain wines around or under $10 (yes, $10) that are unbelievable for the price but usually unremarkable in the following vintage. They are a steal in value and taste. Once the caterers find them, they're gone.

I’ve been drinking fine wines for over 50 years, and have a theory that drinking cheaply made wines will “dumb down” one’s palate. Sure, one can find a really good wine every once in awhile in the cheap wine category, but there are a whole lot of frogs that require kissing. That is because little attention is paid to the multitude of variables that can affect the making of good more expensive wines. Quantity and profit are the main goals of cheap wines. More expensive wines generally are made with more attention paid to wine making variables. The specific terroir, vineyard management, harvesting, the education and experience of the wine maker, all of the complexities in the wine making process...etc. Sure, one will find frogs in the more expensive category, too...but you’re apt to find a whole lot more princes. In drinking cheap wines, your palate changes or gets used to the inferior product of a less dedicated and professional wine making effort. You begin to accept low quality as the norm and you are more easily satisfied by all of the frequent frogs that you kiss. Simply put, one can train one’s palate to be ever more accepting of cheap wine the more that one drink it. This is an insidious decline that one probably never realize is happening. It is a choice that many people make, for many different reasons...and that’s okay. However, if one chooses to drink cheap wine, just don’t presume to tell people that there is no difference between cheap and expensive...because there really is, but they just don’t know any better. There really is a difference between actual and perceived quality in wine, just like in many other tangible things. Eating at McDonalds really isn’t the same as dining at Ruth Chris, unless your only criterion is a full belly.

Thank you so much for a great informative presentation....

👌👌👌👌🍹🍹🍹

As a wine newbie (less than a month since turning legal) I'm super impressed with how many scents and flavors you can take out of a wine and hope I can get to that point someday!

Length? Girth? Punt?

Where's your man at look like u need a drinking partner wine an dine babe

Thank you for the wine taste test, and the cost of bottle, barrels, etc.

I love a good red wine. I brought a £7 gallo family Merlot, it was the most disgusting wine I’ve tasted ever. If that was my first taste of red, I would have never tried red again.

I am disappointed in your comparison. This is. not an expensive apple to cheap apple comparison, but more an apple to a pear. Italian wines are so much different than California. What you should have done was taken either a cheap CA Merlot with an expensive one or did the same with a Toscana.

The obeisant chauffeur intialy cause because passbook aerobically appear before a stupendous century. superficial, tedious television

Blind tastes Tests suggests that the most expert of wine experts can't tell the difference between a cheap or an expensive wine 🤷🏾

Great review. You said the expensive wine tasted 4 times as good (not 10 times as good), but I’d bet the cost is huge to get any wine to taste “only” 4 times better. Better grapes, better vineyard, addition of other expensive grapes, etc. Anyone can make juice and ferment it. Making that juice tell you stories as you drink it...well, that’s not cheap.

Sounds like I'd be happy with the cheap bottle I like wines that show their grape characters.

Her Charisma is off the charts.

An expert wino's opinion. Expensive wine tastes better than cheap wine. But it doesn't taste 10X or 100X better. That's the price difference for expensive wine.

Never trust a slurring drunk lady 😂

is a ferrari 10 times better than top lexus or holiday in australia better than same in greece!?

Fancy in this case needs to be understood as better quality. A good looking cork is not necessary a better closure but a more expensive/better cork is a better closure and it will ensure the wine ages better and for a longer time.
Real estate taxes, grape prices/better quality grapes, lower yields, better packaging, better winemaking, concentration of aromas and flavors, new oak, 16 to 24 months aging, etc, makes a wine better. Great video.

don't cheap-out when gifting a bottle. That's where pricepoint shines through

so far, for me and Australian reds. AU$10 will buy a "drinkable" wine. Pay double to 3 times more and you WILL taste the driiference. However after that? for age for age you are now paying for the label or the boutique winery HAS to charge more to make ends meet and has little to do with quality.

I hope it's blind tasted though

I'm a wine expert,and trust me,that expensive wine shouldn't be that expensive.Remember one thing.There is bigger difference in quality between $20 and $5 wine than between $20 and $100 wine.Those extremely expensive wines are for rich people or for fools.

Hmm, I don't agree much with you on this video and the conclusions. You should have compared wines from the same winnery and same grapes but different prices, and you would have found many different factors that would explain the price difference much better, including marketing reasons apart from real cost producing, grapes selection, scarcity, etc

no such thing as "cheap" It's "Inexpensive" !

Great job 👍 madam I'm from India we new to red 🍒 wines
For long time I'm looking for a channel like that
Thanks 🙏 for information

It would be more equal to compare the same or similar vintages since age affects wine considerably in so many ways! Not fair to compare a young wine to a more developed one! At least discuss it so your viewers can learn that distinction too.

Well played

Cheap wine is for suckers. I drink only the good stuff because I can afford them and because life is short. Don't understand why this lady wants to disguise her snobbish attitude, just be open about enjoying more premium and luxury wines in life instead of hiding behind sounding cool and popular.

This Lady has no idea of a classic red wine. A true French Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc or Shiraz would certainly open her eyes and taste buds to the delights of centuries of vines and true flavour of genuine class.
