If you've ever been curious as to why one bottle can be exponentially more expensive than another, watch as André explains how the experience changes the deeper we go into our wallets.

I think a really compelling video would be having him blind taste these wines and rank them accordingly independent of price.

@nunyabizz50 Жыл бұрын

I can virtually guarantee i could replace the wine in that $300 bottle with $2 buck chuck and 8 out 10 wouldn't tell the difference.

@stevedecklin Жыл бұрын

@@nunyabizz50 That says more about you than anything. Do you have taste buds dawg? Can you smell? Even non-wine drinkers cam taste a difference between 2 buck chuck and a 10$ wine, 2 buck chuck is gross

@DianeGraft Жыл бұрын

@@stevedecklin I'm a non-wine drinker with a very very sharp sense of taste and smell. I find most wines gross. They overwhelm me with dryness and tannins. The few that I can tolerate at all are much closer to a 2 buck chuck than anything fancy. So a high-priced wine doesn't impress me at all.

@@DianeGraft so your taste buds are bad then

@davidckoocie6527 Жыл бұрын

@@DianeGraft What your personal preferences or amount of taste buds you have isn't really what it's about. Wine tasting is more objective where there really isn't any "I like or dislike". It's about talking about the wine for what it is. Taste is subjective but there is an objective system where quality has been decided based on the factors he talks about in this video. If you have a sharp sense of taste or smell as you describe it you might be what the industry call a Monroe (or a super taster). There are basically three types of tasters (I can't remember them all in my head) and Monroe is the most sensitive aka you have more taste buds than the average person. That would mean you lean towards simpler foods without alot of acid, bitterness or spice and you prefer sweet things.

Also because it helps my cigar recommendations to clients without having to force myself to taste test wines or spirits that I feel would bigot my opinion on any pairing.

Random, but Diamond Creek is an absolutely amazing vineyard to do a private tour with a small group. It’s a little pricy depending on your budget, but so intimate and personal, I highly recommend. They drive you through the vineyard and talk you through the different geographical regions they own and the differences that come through in each of the wines they make. Absolutely incredible vineyard and the wine is well worth it!

Since I’ve started watching Andre’s videos I’ve been getting into red wines and I’m a few weeks in. So far my opinion is that beyond $30 there’s really no point to spend more unless you’re going really vintage because otherwise the differences are so subtle and $30 will get you a quality wine 9/10 times.

@katiemasters3473 Жыл бұрын

There are studies reflecting a correlation that you just outlined perfectly! The perfect cross between value and quality for most wine consumers are bottles in the $25-40 price range. The quality of wine perceived by consumers really levels out after that, and the quality before hitting that range can vary wildly. It's very interesting, and can go to show that while marketing doesn't have the hold it once did, as André explained, the factual price of the bottle definitely still has a hold on perception of quality. And unless you're actively training your palate and working on wine certification, splurging on more expensive bottles is just spending money because you can. Drinking to enjoy and tasting to learn and dissect are not at all the same thing.

@ForrestHanson Жыл бұрын

For 99% of people there's definitely a pretty extreme diminishing return over $30-40. Particularly if you're willing to explore some less well known regions or varietals you can get fantastic wine for $15-25.

I typically swirl the glass and look at the legs to see the quality of the tannins. I also use bread 🥖 to clean the palate before switching. Not sure if you got into this but aging a wine goes along way, even for an everyday wine. Lastly, the label may read vinted or produced as an indication of the quality along with the alcohol ABV. Higher is not necessarily better. I went to school in San Luis Obispo so I’m a hack-wine aficionado. Good Video 👍 The Steady State wine that is 40% aged in new oak barrels is a limited run, a reserve wine or more of a premier club of the month wine?
