Isn't this just like anything that is obviously subjective though? Wine, beer, food, fashion, cars, games, programming languages.
In fact, I'm struggling to think of a collection of things that people enjoy that can be objectively measured (with the arguable exception of sports teams and the like, but that's only if you're judging them by their ability to win games, not things like who gives the best game for spectators).
Targeting wine makes me think this is more of a "ha look at those elitist jerks sipping on their wine we are the 99%" whine than anything else.
