It's kind of funny that such a more-or-less linear scale of quality based on price and critics' ratings prevails in the minds of so many wine drinkers. I love wine, and I've definitely fallen into this trap before too. Now that I think about it, wine is a little like mountain biking. There are bad trails, and really amazing trails, and trails that are kind of meh. It would be absurd to obsess over only riding singletrack rated 90 or above by a professional mountain biker.
- Mikeb85 11y agoYup. There are many fantastic 'cheaper' wines, and even many French winemakers are now producing non-traditional, cheery wines meant to be consumed immediately. I know I'm not always in the mood for a 'big' wine, with all the fanfare and ceremony. Sometimes something light and easy drinking hits the spot.
