I only wonder because in my own experience the expensive wines usually taste more like vinigar. My favorite wine is Lambrusco made by Reunite. Do you know any expensive wines that have good flavor? Not fruity, but flavorful.

You only feel the way you do because you have not yet acclimated your taste to appreciate wines of multiple character.
Wines that challenge your intelect and palate. Wines that match and balance and enhance foods and the sub-flavours of foods and spices and herbs of dishes. Rather you enjoy wines that substitute for soda pop. This does not make them bad wines - lambrusco is what it is (and it IS fruity, also sweet). Mass market unsophisticated popularity of lambrusco followed the same for liebfraumilch and before that Boone's Farm; lambrusco's popularity in that market segment was much supplanted by white zinfandel. What will be the next cheap, sweet, light wine-fad? We will see.
Keep enjoying your lambrusco but if you are typical once you are introduced to (dry, "vinegary") wines that enhance the tastes of your meals you will never return to Reunite.

The most expensive wine I have ever had and tasted out of this world wonderful was a 1984 Georges de latour Cab sauv by Beaulieu Vineyards. Price is in the hundreds of dollars. Not totally sure since it was brought by a co-worker to a party. It was so good with my prime rib dinner I thought I was in heaven.
I have also had Raymond Generations Cab Sauv that is $100 per bottle and loved every drop.
Not all wines that are expensive taste good. Same thing goes for cheap wines. Personally I find wines that are under say 10 are not as flavorful. They have a water down taste overall. Especially brands like Two Buck Chuck. I would rather have a beer than two buck.
Price does not guarantee quality or flavor at any level.

With wine (and many other things in life) the key is to drink what you like and not worry about what you "should" be drinking or like. There are many, many good wines that are reasonably priced, and there are many expensive wines that are excellent as well - the question of how refined one's palate is and whether or not you notice and/or appreciate the more finely crafted wines is real; but unless you have the financial means to buy and drink these wines regularly, don't even bother and stay with the reasonably priced good stuff. Wine Spectator is a great magazine if you want some guidance on experimenting.

I personally don't like the taste of any of the reunite wines as well as any chardonay wines..yuk!
the best cheap wine i have tasted are the Red diamond merlot, which is only $9.00 a bottle and the most expensive wine that i have tasted is the frank Kunzler white wine, reisling..which is about $40 to $50. I also enjoy the spanish wine which is a blend called the Abruzo.del Toro..it's only 9.00 ad very light and wet!
Yes there are expensive wines that I have tasted that I did not like. it all depends on how much u know about wine and what types of wine you like.

I in hardship-free words in part agree. A $5 wine is often not tremendous and usually is a jug wine. passable yet not memorable. very solid wines should be had for in hardship-free words $15 regardless of the indisputable fact that. the element about wine expenditures is that its not the customary of the wine that dictates the fee. an extremely good $15 bottle of wine should be rated equivalent to an extremely good $60 bottle of wine. the form is that the $60 bottle is rarer. it really is, the vineyard that makes the $60 wine in hardship-free words dispensed 500 circumstances while the $15 bottle grow to be area of a 50,000 case lot. Low distribution mediocre wines do not promote properly yet low distribution tremendous wines are snapped up via the wine creditors and severe end eating places and hence the severe fee. expensive wines carry an attraction and a mystique yet quite many times have an equivalent wine in a miles lower priced decision

I agree with Hank. When I was younger I was drawn to the sweeter novelty wines like Reunite or Mateus or White Zin because they were like soda pop. They are what they are but when I started to trry other Wines like Cabernet Savignon or Red Zin or Pinot Noir with meals that compliment the wines then there was no holding back. You might want to try Pinot Grigio with a fish dish. You'll never go back.

If you like Lambrusco and want to sound more sophisticated, find a Bonarda Frizzante.

No. The more labor intensive, the better the wine.
I love Chateau Margeaux.
