It depends on what you're looking for. I've seen so much "trash" wine and spirits turn out to be total hits with people that I don't think anyone can outright say that any drink is objectively good or bad other than perhaps absolute bottom-shelf spirits. I was at a party back on fourth of July where someone brought this incredible scotch that literally everyone there found to be amazing. My parents decided to get a bottle and we shared it with a group of relatives who unanimously poo-poo'd it. Maybe a connoisseur looks for certain taste and smell profiles most people couldn't discern, but that doesn't mean a given whisky is bad.
