people are still sheep — article on “They Always Buy the Ten Cent Wine”

Thanks Jeremy Epstein for sending me this article:
They Always Buy the Ten-Cent Wine

snip:

A second study, just released by the American Association of Wine Economists, answers the question Do more expensive wines taste better?
The answer, based on a large sample of blind tastings, is that there is
no correlation between price and wine evaluation (or perhaps a modestly
negative one).

    Will you please give it up? We get it… you are a nerd, people are sheep, and if the wine is good and cheap we drink it.
    I totally adore the fact you are a nerd but, this obsession about wine is getting borderline spontaneous combustion.
    What about cigars and bourbon?
    Hey, about the bourbon and whiskey argument if we were in England it’s whiskey but because we are here it’s bourbon…how bloody unfair is that….
