I don't think this article is saying that "gas station wine" tastes as good as "fancy wine". It's not talking about quality. They're making the point that cheap wine can be good. So yes junk wine is junk, but not all cheap wine is junk. I do however expect for this particular instance, they spent a lot of time finding a particularly wonderful €3 wine - while the vast majority at this price probably are distinctly less good.

> I do however expect for this particular instance, they spent a lot of time finding a particularly wonderful €3 wine - while the vast majority at this price probably are distinctly less good. The article says the opposite: > There were plenty of wines under €3 to choose from, but they decided to go with the cheapest and worst-tasting one they could find. a €2.50 bottle was selected and then disguised it as a premium product by naming it ‘Chateau Colombier’ and creating a more eye-catching label.
