“Is a wine ever worth $100?” “Why is there so much difference in price among wines?” “What is the difference between a $10 bottle of wine and a $100 bottle of wine?”
Recently I was asked all three of these questions in a span of about 36 hours, and I realized that they were all variations on the same question: Is there really a correlation between price and quality in wine?
The fact is that there IS a wide variation in the pricing of various wines –- even sometimes among wines made from the same type grape from the same region. You can buy a Napa cabernet for $20, and you can buy a Napa cabernet for $300. Why are they priced so differently? Is the $300 cabernet really 15 times better than the $20 cab?
