Sommelier Compares Cheap vs Expensive Wines ($18-$300) | World of Wine | Bon Appétit

Ойын-сауық

'World of Wine' returns to Bon Appétit and this time out sommelier André Hueston Mack is sampling four bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon that range in price from $18 to $300. If you've ever been curious as to why one bottle can be exponentially more expensive than another, watch as André explains how the experience changes the deeper we go into our wallets.

    @@DianeGraft What your personal preferences or amount of taste buds you have isn't really what it's about. Wine tasting is more objective where there really isn't any "I like or dislike". It's about talking about the wine for what it is. Taste is subjective but there is an objective system where quality has been decided based on the factors he talks about in this video. If you have a sharp sense of taste or smell as you describe it you might be what the industry call a Monroe (or a super taster). There are basically three types of tasters (I can't remember them all in my head) and Monroe is the most sensitive aka you have more taste buds than the average person. That would mean you lean towards simpler foods without alot of acid, bitterness or spice and you prefer sweet things.

But a lot of the approaches he uses for wine I find are transferable to cigars, which are my thing, so I always like to hear what makes a wine, or whisk(e)y, scotch, bourbon, et cetera stand out. Also because it helps my cigar recommendations to clients without having to force myself to taste test wines or spirits that I feel would bigot my opinion on any pairing.

Absolutely incredible vineyard and the wine is well worth it!

    I typically swirl the glass and look at the legs to see the quality of the tannins. I also use bread 🥖 to clean the palate before switching. Not sure if you got into this but aging a wine goes along way, even for an everyday wine. Lastly, the label may read vinted or produced as an indication of the quality along with the alcohol ABV. Higher is not necessarily better. I went to school in San Luis Obispo so I’m a hack-wine aficionado. Good Video 👍 The Steady State wine that is 40% aged in new oak barrels is a limited run, a reserve wine or more of a premier club of the month wine?

    Since I’ve started watching Andre’s videos I’ve been getting into red wines and I’m a few weeks in. So far my opinion is that beyond $30 there’s really no point to spend more unless you’re going really vintage because otherwise the differences are so subtle and $30 will get you a quality wine 9/10 times.

    There are studies reflecting a correlation that you just outlined perfectly! The perfect cross between value and quality for most wine consumers are bottles in the $25-40 price range. The quality of wine perceived by consumers really levels out after that, and the quality before hitting that range can vary wildly. It's very interesting, and can go to show that while marketing doesn't have the hold it once did, as André explained, the factual price of the bottle definitely still has a hold on perception of quality. And unless you're actively training your palate and working on wine certification, splurging on more expensive bottles is just spending money because you can. Drinking to enjoy and tasting to learn and dissect are not at all the same thing.

    No mention of closures - I do find cheaper wines (which can be great value) use screw-tops. Then you have the composite (glued chips) corks and then real cork. While never 100% - many expensive New World wines with good reputations can use whatever closure they prefer - I think there is a subconscious correlation among consumers. Certainly when buying wine in a supermarket it holds pretty true
