Like others, I was pretty confused until I reached the part where they said to buy the $20 bottle instead of the $50 bottle. I think what they're really tracking here is that high end wines are (usually) over priced. I'm not an expert at all, but I also think certain varieties tend to be much more represented in the high end offerings. Cabernets is the one that comes to mind off the top of my head. I personally won't buy a cab at any price, and I think that dislike is often shared by my generation and those younger to me, but older generations tend to be much more prone to buying them. I wonder if age is a factor (and hence buying power) in which wines people will tend to rank highly.
