Flawed experiment. He only used inexpensive bottles - the top end there is about $17? Sorry, but that's an inexpensive bottle of wine, and the real threshold in my experience is around $30 plus or minus a buck or two. To me that's the range where you definitely know where your money went. There are outliers of course (one of my favorite everyday bottles right now retails for $7, but the next vintage may suck) but by and large there is a huge chasm between a cheap and expensive bottle. With the caveat: know what you like! Experiment to find out what styles/regions/grapes you prefer and then you can really begin to appreciate the difference.
I am definitely no connoisseur of wine but I can tell you what beer I like!

Well, I drink wine with meals. But for drinking my go-to's are West Coast Style IPA's and Scotch Whisky.
Following that thought.... that would make wine grape juice. Yum.Beer is food
You sniffed all of those corks?!?! And you seem to be a tolerable human still!!!
Good man!
Can you fix those other guys that sniff the cork?

At what point do you go from corks all lined up nicely (like in the box with the fewest corks) to the "ah fckit" and just throw them in there like all the other boxes?

I do enjoy wine, but I'm not a wine snob. I never got a taste for beer...
I got the nickname Chubbles at Penn State. We had keggers on our dorm floor. We each chipped in 5.00 to get it started and got unlimited beer for the year. I never had beer in quantity before. During my first kegger, I drank 5 very large beers in about 20 minutes. A new guy to the floor introduced himself to me. I tried to say my name but mispronounced it as Chubbles (rhymes with troubles). From then on everyone called me Chubbles. I actually had a reputation as a party animal (not me at all). I'm the type that always had nicknames. Chubbles is not the worst. I went to every kegger, but never drank extremely again.

Then you've been drinking the wrong beer! If you can find it, try La Rulles Tripel: RateBeer
On that note, both Ghar and I have breweries
