You should talk to a wine expert then, who'll happily tell you that different grapes come in to and out of fashion, and hence are priced differently. Riesling as a great example of a great grape that's "underpriced" because it's not so fashionable.
- JesperRavn 11y agoYou should talk to a logic expert. Luckily I am one :^) Just because there is some element of faddishness, doesn't mean that something is entirely arbitrary. E.g. sushi used to be mostly white fish, and salmon was considered too greasy. It doesn't follow from that there is no good or bad sushi.
- peteretep 11y agoA logic expert eh? May I suggest that concluding that there is significant difference between wine based on the price, despite scientific evidence to contrary, because another class of items does show a value/price relationship is a nice example of: * Appeal to probability * Argument from (personal) incredulity * False equivalence And I'm sure a few others.
