Very good wine was bought at ten pounds per pipe, the contract price; but the superior quality was fifteen pounds; and some of this was not much inferior to the best London Madeira.

If you talk about Cabernet and Merlot-based value between $10 and $25, I will tell you that Bordeaux is the best value in the world.

Cheap wine is defined by its price, and it depends on personal spending limits. So for me, any wine under $10 is cheap.

Don't let anyone tell you what you ought to like... Some wines that some experts think are absolutely exquisite don't appeal to me at all.

I am thinking about launching a wine website where there is a deal and the crowd can dictate how cheap it can get.

Wine is valued by its price, not its flavour.

Essentially, wines are fermented grape juice, so I'm trying to make the point that the wine world is about scores and marketing and kind of creating a scarce resource where they don't really exist.

To buy very good wine nowadays requires only money. To serve it to your guests is a sign of fatigue.

There are many great wine producers from all over the world making fantastic wines. Italian wines especially are making an enormous comeback after sometimes being labeled as inexpensive jug wines.

Wine pricing is an art - like painting.
