My point was that there are more than decent wines in the low price range: I put 2,20 Euros as a starting point to drink something enjoyable; but I never said that it would be equal, less better, than a wine 20 times that price (well, that might happen, too; but that wasn´t my point)With that I meant that you don´t need to go for the big ones, to find differences, hues in quality. Applying this to cinema, there are the great movies, like Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons, The Quiet Man, Intolerance, The Dead,..., which are clearly head and shoulders above the others; then, there are poor movies which, no matter who their author is, or how much they have spent at making them, will never qualify as good; while there are other films which, at a small cost, or without any pretensions for greatness, are excellent: the first to come to my mind is "Une Histoire Immortelle", a small (45 minutes length, just 4 actors, almost no action, and inexpensive in its production) crepuscular film by O. Welles, with himself and Jeanne Moreau as the only well-known stars, which is simply wonderful!
Back to red wines, what I said was that it would be difficult, even for anybody who has sipped many good ones, to range a bunch of bottles by their intrinsic quality (bouquet, flavour, aftertaste, smoothness, color, body...) and then guess their respective prices: more expensive not always means better.
That said, I wouldn´t find wise to argue that a wine costing twenty times more than another one would be worse than the least expensive.
You ask for at least 50% possibilities? Then, just flip a coin!
Anyhow, if you want to taste some bottles of decent, amazingly inexpensive, pretty underrated Spanish wines, just ask for them! I´ll be glad to choose a few for you, and send them to you, with their labels on: you´ll just pay the freight expenses, and sharing your opinion about them.
Are you interested?
Regards
BF
