Vaginafly trap Group: Absinthe Mafia Posts: 4682 Joined: 13-August 07 Member No.: 2953	Do you revert to buying what you like when it comes to wine (and by extension…)? To do anything else is would be to give credence to junk science and indulge in bullshit economics. -------------------- When I wake up, I try to convince myself that my arm isn't there -- to retain my sanity.

Absinthusiast Group: Members Posts: 262 Joined: 28-May 09 From: Olympia, WA Member No.: 3695	The real problem is that price point usually determines what the average person even has an opportunity to sample. Is a glass of a $500 bottle of wine significantly better than a $50 bottle of wine? I may never know. I will say that the few glasses of $50 bottles of wine I've had were noticeably better than most (though not all) of the $15 and below bottles I've had, so while I do believe in the law of diminishing returns as the price rises, in my experience the $20 to $30 range is the minimum for an excellent wine for most varieties.

Vaginafly trap Group: Absinthe Mafia Posts: 4682 Joined: 13-August 07 Member No.: 2953	Most of us value value. And our scrutiny of a product increases with its price. An unscrutinized bottle of plonk might go down better paired with old friends on a wild night than an exclusive bottle scrutinized in the company of stuffy fucks at the members only soiree. At least I know which one I'd be more likely to choke on. -------------------- When I wake up, I try to convince myself that my arm isn't there -- to retain my sanity.

Absinthe Mafia Group: Absinthe Mafia Posts: 4205 Joined: 3-May 04 From: Xit City Member No.: 704	Not to complicate things but it depends. It depends on how we define "value." Are we speaking of use value? Commodity value? Aesthetic value? Commodity value is often bullxit. Value is also the concentrated labor that create something. It may also be the level of enjoyment one gets out of use or consumption. -------------------- A fine absinthe is the product of knowledge, craftsmanship, and talent. An exceptional absinthe is the product of those things plus obsession. Most absinthe is the product of marketing.
