You should come to NYC

The demand for talented creatives never subsides
well i am still in italia and europe and i started to feel what you say. but i am in contact with creative artists from "DONDA" kanya west and "off white" Virgil abloh, so lets see. am not big fan of living in america but, i guess i started not to care if there is great opportunity appear to me.

Are expensive wines really worth it?
No.

Blind taste tests have been done with pro wine drinkers and their guesses were all over the place.

Here in the US you get the biggest bang for the buck with the very affordable Chilean and Argie wines. Not sure what their prices are in Europe.

Better yet - and this is for fellow health geeks - stick to the distilled stuff, the healthier alt (red wine being healthy isn't true).

Brunello is very affordable in Europe. If it's that expensive in the US, I wouldn't buy it.

But in general I do agree with your first point. The differences between wines is not as large as some people would have you believe. I don't pretend to be great at tasting wine either.

Into the second bottle of wine, relaxing by the fire, pond-side at 1:30 in the morning. Lol
You should take a picture of your feet up and the wine glass with a dumb caption like "my view tonight" then post it to instagram like the bitch you are.

Depends. Are you an instagram hoe?

You pay for the tannins, not the grape or the terroir it was bred from
Plenty of whites are weak on tannin yet expensive. It's hard to say. French wines and their 600 dollar wooden barrel do taste differently. I can't really say there's no difference between cheap and expensive wines. However, I do think that quality wines can be bought for 15-25 euros per bottle.

Even some 10€ wines can be good but normally they cost 20€+ in here (and alcohol/wines are expensive here).
