I have had the pleasure of drinking extremely expensive wine and champagne, and also some of the cheapest. Funny how I have found that the vast majority of the time, some of the cheapest wine were the tastiest, at least to my untrained tastebuds.
You know, I did hear that there was an unproduced Monty Python sketch involving a wine connoisseur showing his wine cellar to a visitor, and well… let’s just say that the revelation of what kind of wine it was wasn’t too pleasant. However, John Cleese thought that that particular sketch was in poor taste, so it never got filmed.
Long time ago I bought some Turner Wine from a Dollar Store in Barstow, CA. Wasted my dollar(actually two). I had to pour it out! Man that stuff was Nasty.
Didn’t they do a blind taste test and found that most “wine connoisseurs” couldn’t tell the difference between the cheap stuff from the box and the $200 bottle of wine? Turns out they just love to talk about “hints of…” and “notes of…” and “bouquet” while getting tipsy.

Yes, you definitely want to protect your wine from getting wet.

You don’t see a lot of old sommeliers, but you see lots of old, wizened, wrinkled 90-somethings that drink cheap wine every day.
Cheap wine is good for your health.

Not classy, Sherman. You don’t do that to wine.

That little hint of umbrella brings out the rainy, oak flavor. (Sure)

Wow, I was sure that they would be booted out by now. Glad I didn’t actually take a bet!

Cabernet Sauvignon? Cabernet Franc? Please be specific.
Also, in the middle of the ocean is likely the only place a Napa CS won’t be dryer than the Sahara.

Sherman, perhaps a slice of lemon wedged on the lip of the glass, or some ice cubes. Ask the barkeep.

I’m thinking a cherry might make it fun.

Reason #60 not to join a snobbish club. They put noses on their wine.
