You would get the same effect with $5 bottles, wouldn't you?

If it's produced in the same region, the good stuff is usually less than $20, and most often less than $10. It's not usually worth it to pay for travel, IMO.

You and your parents have all described wine in terms of $. I've tasted a dollar and it tastes like a pound but I would not try to drink it.

Why not describe your experience with the good stuff. We lack decent language to describe taste but we have loads of language for experience and feelings.

Lots of people here are pontificating (me too) about wine but so often the discussion ends up with bottle price and not what is actually important.
