Wine pricing is an art - like painting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wine is valued by its price, not its flavour.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
I am thinking about launching a wine website where there is a deal and the crowd can dictate how cheap it can get.
For me, a $20 wine that drinks like a $40 wine in terms of complexity and interest is a value, while a $5 wine that is not very good is not a value at all in my opinion.
To buy very good wine nowadays requires only money. To serve it to your guests is a sign of fatigue.
You can enjoy a $15 bottle of wine as much as you can enjoy a $100 bottle of wine.
I'm actually surprised how technical a lot of commercial wine production is. Things are done very much from an industrial chemistry point of view at certain price points, but that's not the impression you get with wine.
People go to see beautiful paintings to see how much they cost. Wow. The practical value is that it shows you what the human spirit can do.
Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.
Wine is bottled poetry.
