    I mean, French wine is massively overrated, and any bottle over $150AUD isn't remotely worth it (the best wine I ever had was I think a $50 bottle.) And wine tasting past a certain point is basically down to personal taste, with wine testers being super jaded, which is why they're often tricked into thinking goon is an "art wine"

    That said, you can definitely tell the large-scale difference in the quality of the wine (though that has little to do with the price, a high end goon is as likely to be good as a $1000 wine, and mid range bottled drinking wines are more reliably tasty), and the difference between, say, a French and a South American Malbec, or a Pinot Noir from the same region, is really and reliably noticeable.

        It could be a good wine. The BiB method of packaging the wine is vastly superior to glass bottles both when it comes to resource use, practicality and keeping the wine from spoiling.

          Eh, it's just a AUD15 box of Coolabah red that I'm mixing with pepsi.
