At this point I know which restaurants in BR are raping me, and I order accordingly.

I'm willing to spend a bit for a nice Chianti when I'm eating someone's liver with fava beans.

Whatever Caymus or Cakebread Cellars cost.

On average about $15 a bottle. If we are on vacation, it would be more based on the local price averages.

Honestly, I probably couldn't discern the better between 3 buck chuck and a $90 bottle of wine.

Depends on the cooter I'm swooning.
Posted on 5/8/24 at 12:56 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
usually 30-50 but depends on the occasion and who its with. I have friends that i wouldnt bring anything under 75 and others i wouldnt bring anything over 30.

That's the bottle with the most mark up, usually. They know, that you don't want to appear like a cheap arse, so they'll play with the one just above the cheapest.

If I'm bringing it home for the wife, around $20-25. If we're taking one to a party, around $50

Most people, including me, can’t tell the difference between $10 per bottle and $100 bottle.

If I did a blind tasting with you between a selection of 10 and 100 dollar wines I could set it up to ensure you preferred the 100 dollar wine every time, and it would be pretty easy to do. Far easier than getting you to pick the 10 dollar wine.
But the reality is it depends on the wine. If you take someone off the street with no interest in wine and give them a 10 dollar fruit bomb against a 100 dollar young Bordeaux with harsh tannins, they may well pick the 10 dollar wine because they have no palate/understanding for the latter or what it is supposed to be.
I don't trash peoples' subjective preferences, but I do think it's not apples to apples. An average person in the US might take a mediocre-prepared USDA select filet over great redfish because they're way more familiar with the former and have no context/appreciation for the latter, but it doesn't mean the quality difference is negligible.

Well said.
I think another aspect, as was mentioned on the F&D board thread, is that very few people have the ability to drink pricier wine that has actually been aged and stored correctly.

$60-120.

It’s wine. As long as it’s not disgusting it doesn’t matter the cost. Plenty of decent wine at $15-20 price point.
