Perhaps. There's also just difference tastes, some people prefer different types of wines (e.g. a blend containing more merlot, etc).
That said, I can tell for a fact price often does not matter past a certain point -- it definitely isn't a good way to determine quality. I have had great bottles that sell for $15, and (not horrible but) not special ones that sell for $50 or $100. There are plenty of good $15 wines and plenty of bad ones. Same applies to the higher priced ones as well.
Often it's hit and miss, and you need to do your research! (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing)
