Wine is no different from any other ingestable in that there’s no such thing as an objectively ‘good’ wine. Just drink the ones you like, avoid the ones you don’t and tell the so-called ‘experts’ who gibber on endlessly about hints of beech and vanilla, impudence, and ‘smoky with just a hint of marsh gas’ to leave you the fuck alone.

There are objectively BAD wines, like MD 20-20.

Mad Dog! Best wine I've ever had was a nameless dry red - sold for $5 a bottle... as table wine... in a chain of greek restaurants... in germany.
Drink snobs are notorious for misidentifying brands and imagining that there are hints of non-existent ingredients or compounds.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I agree!
And when there are bad wines, then there are also good wines.
And btw: I am my own expert!

Wine tastes disgusting - as does beer; whisky; vodka - that's why there're alcoholics, in part. Our unconscious brains go: It tastes GROSS - yet is popular, oh boy! Being drunk must be really great to justify drinking such disgusting rot to get there - count me in! :glug glug glug:
