Are you also cynical about other's ability to tell apart Dr Pepper from Coca Cola? Or Black tea from coffee? Because they're a lot more similar than many wine variations.

I don't think I've come across anyone who's considered themselves a soft drink connoisseur before, so what is there to be cynical about? Plenty of people will tell you they're into wines, and they will give you accounts of the growing seasons in particular years and places.
