The Franzia Challenge ( cheap wines vs. good wines )

I'm convinced that most people would be very hard pressed to tell the difference (or have a preference) between a $10 bottle of wine and a $50 bottle.

Define "most people". If you mean random drinkers who really don't drink wine that often, maybe. But anyone who drinks wine at all on a regular basis will be able to tell (assuming that the wines chosen have a corrolation between price and taste. There are plenty of not-tasty $30 wines).

I'd have wider price ranges, btw.
0-15
15-25
25-40
40-60
60+

You may be better off doing a tasting by Wine Spectator score, or something similar to best try and make it "good wines" vs. "crappy wines".
