except $18, $180 and $198 which is true but uninteresting.

$2- you chug it. $20 you sip it. $200 you save it. Besides the smart *** answer, the price, I say who cares. It all taste like crap anyways so tip and chug. Cheers

Most of the time the difference of the cost of the bottle has to do with the quality of the grapes the skilled used to blend the grapes and then some on the area on the bottle. Grapes like merlot grow well in several areas and are not as hard to grow as pinot noir grapes. Hence why pinot noir cast more the merlot. The wine maker, if they don’t have a reputation, will not be able to charge as much as an established wine maker. Then there is the area that the grapes are grown in. Grapes from France or Napa in the us will cost more then wines from South America even if it was made from the same wine makers from France or the United States.

It doesn't always make a big difference in actual taste. At least between a $20 to $200 bottle. (A $2 bottle is usually junk.) It's usually just the rarity of the wine that makes the difference in price. If not too many of the particular wine was made, then it costs more.

I don't know, flavor is definitely not a factor.
When you buy wine, don't let price be a factor.
Charles Shaw (2 Buck Chuck) is sole for $1.99, and it tastes better than a $140 Matsen Reserve.
The best way to choose a good wine is by using your tastebuds and your nose. Try as many different wines as you can, at restaurants, at wine tastings, at friend's houses, or let the dude at the wine store (not the liquor store) make some recommendations. When you find what you like, build on that.
My favorite wine is Columbia Crest Grande Estates Chardonnay. I first tasted it at a restaurant a few years ago, and I buy it by the case now. When I try new wines, I look for the buttery texture that I love in Columbia Crest. Sometimes I find it, some times, I don't.
But it's fun trying!

There is a great difference PSYCHOLOGICALLY!! University studies have demonstrated that the price of a bottle of wine factors into its pleasure producing effects (though this is not the only factor). The rarer the wine is perceived to be by the drinker, the better the overall experience. Even if the bottle is never opened, just having a rare vintage in one's possession gives satisfaction to the owner. Additionally, you really have to train yourself to identify those aspects of wine that you will decide will differentiate a great bottle from a poor one - this is very subjective to say the least! Wine that, to me, stinks upon first whiff, can be said to need more time to aerate. Expensive wines that have an "old barn" undertone can be said to possess "a playful spectrum of dustiness", ad nauseam.

Everything depends on the grape that the wine is made from. While some varieties are more popular (and in demand) than others, the vintage is also important. Even when dealing with grapes from the same vines, the differences in weather will lead to different characteristics in the grape. Too dry or too wet weather will result in a bad crop. And that leads to bad wine.
Saying that the older the wine, the more expensive it is is just plain wrong.

alot of it depends on the maker the type the vintage and the age usually when you see a bottle of wine climb in price is its old and from a quality winemaker and is from a good grape season.
Mostly with red wines because they age well the aging can mellow out certain flavours and enhance others this in turn making for an exceptional bottle of VINO.

Well, your own answer is true. It is money.
I've had $20 bottles of wine that are much better than $200 bottles of wine.
I can tell you that all $2 bottles of wine are bad. Which is why they are $2.

Well I would say, that depending on where it came from, ex. Italy vs. California....How long it has been aged, and also I think you pay a lot for the name, and rarity of the bottle of wine.

Usually the price of wine has to do with the aging and where the vineyard is. The older the wine...the more expensive.
