Understanding Wine Quality

The notion of what constitutes a 'good' wine is subjective, varying from person to person based on individual tastes and experiences. Factors influencing wine quality include the rarity and production methods of the grapes, rather than just the price tag. A high-priced wine is often perceived as better due to its exclusivity, which can lead to consumer biases. Ultimately, the best wine is defined by personal enjoyment rather than industry standards, similar to how everyone has their favorite type of burrito.
