Default Re: The Franzia Challenge ( cheap wines vs. good wines )

I'm not exactly a wine connoisseur but I'm pretty sure I could distinguish between a $10 bottle and $50 dollar bottle, assuming the $50 bottle was not a rip off.

Neither am I, so maybe this is a naive question. But this isn't something like generic Frosted Flakes, where competitors try to make the cereal taste like Kellogs.

This is wine, where companies try to get specific flavors in a wine. You can have a huge difference between two $10 merlots just as easily as you can have a difference between a $10 and a $50 bottle. But in the end, isn't taste too subjective.

Isn't it possible that the bottler of the $10 wine tried to get specific flavors in their wine that you happen to like more than the bottler of the $50 wine?
