Wine appreciation depends on your experience. If you haven't been exposed to the higher end, you won't miss it and should be perfectly happy with everyday brands (like Charles Shaw). The more exploring you do, however, the more you'll appreciate the higher end. Music is probably a good analogy: the majority of people are fine with mainstream radio content, while the more 'hardcore' tend to be into eccentric stuff.
- Vivtek 15y agoI think the thesis of the article is that the more 'hardcore' are into eccentric stuff not because they inherently like eccentric stuff, but that they like being hardcore people who are into eccentric stuff.
- nandemo 15y agoThat doesn't seem to be thesis of the article, since they don't mention anything about the wine tasting experience of the subjects. I really doubt that doing similar experiments with wine experts would give the same results.
