Actually, the reason you need never worry about sending a wine back
is because that wine will be used as the "house wine". I agree that
the $300 wine most likely wouldn't pass a taste test without the label.
Most things that are "really expensive" are NOT that good... In other
words, a set of Yamaha drums that cost 4000 is NOT 5 times better
than a Pearl entry set that is 800, but GOD does it sound great when
you play it. A motorcycle chain that costs 100 bucks does NOT last 5
times longer than a 20 dollar version. A 200 dollar bottle of wine is
really good, but it's not TWENTY times as good as a regular bottle of
10 buck "rotgut" [as mike calls it]. If I had the money to afford the
yamaha drumset, I'd buy it. If I could get the expensive chain, I'd
do it and if I could afford cases of 2400 dollar wine, I'd probably
stock a few, but it's not really a matter of proportionate worth,
it's just the cost of doing business.
