The same amount of people who can recognize a $10000 abstract painting and a painting by a 3 year old :)

Just because value is not inherent does not mean that things can't be valuable.

The point is the perception of value.

Wine is definitely closer to art than anything.

e.g. "Damien Hirst Spot" or "Jackson Pollock Blue Poles".
