EXPENSIVE WINE Pt 2 - MASTER of WINE Guesses Cheap vs. Expensive Wine

It is time to talk about wine prices again. My last video on this topic kinda went viral and a few questions came up from you guys that I want to address in this video. I will also blind taste four different wines and go into more detail on how I identify quality in a wine. They are from the same grape variety but from different countries and sell at different price points. I do not know anything else about the wines and I will blind taste them to see whether I can tell the difference. Sounds impossible? Let’s find out!
First of all HELLO to all of the new faces – I am very happy about the recent growth of this channel. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you should – it is free and is your chance to learn more about wine.

The question I am trying to answer today is: Is it is possible to say what the price of a bottle of wine is without seeing the label – just by tasting the wine?

In my previous video – that you should also check out – I explained the relationship between price and quality with this graph.

As the price increases, the quality on average also increases rapidly but at some point, the quality does not change anymore even though the price can rise indefinitely. The highest price ever paid for a bottle of wine is the 1945 Romanee-Conti sold at Sotheby’s for 558,000 US$!

The highest score any wine - including any Romannee-Conti – has ever received is 100 Points. This graph is of course a simplification because there are wines that are very cheap and get great scores and there are wines that are very expensive even though they are bad in quality like the 1974 Lafite Rothschild that currently retails for 550 US$ and got this less than glowing review from Robert Parker.
