Thank goodness I don't have the money to spend on such displays of foolishness.

  Seriously, too stupid to not insult the chef and not waste bottles of wine so you'll eat McDonalds on the couch over an amazing meal and drinks? You can't hack past having money and not being a wanker, but you are on a hacker site? I'll add a $1000 wine uses similar resources to a $10 one. Like art it's exactly what the rich should spend money on.

  Its really not too much money. You can get yourself a really nice steak dinner for like $40-60. Thats like three trips to the mcdonalds these days you avoid to save up for that. And the subject matter of the article, $2000 bottles of wine, relatively speaking for that persons total wealth and income blowing a dozen of those is nowhere near as financially disastrous as a broke college student buying two boxes of Franzia.

    I always thought of fine dining as the sort where the restaurant decides what you're going to eat, where only enough food is served so you experience the taste/texture, and you're not going to get that for $60.

      You can definitely get a decent lunch tasting menu experience for $100 or so in NYC

      That experience has been democratized to an extend and I've paid as low as like $35 for something like that. I don't dabble in that world often because I like to actually eat food and not be hungry again in an hour.
