I can only speak for myself but I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world and enjoy fine dining whenever I have the time and I love it, but sometimes I just want taco bell.
Alcohol, on the other hand; good Scotch and wine has ruined the cheap stuff for me. I can't drink cheap, or even mediocre, whisky or wine anymore. If it's not very high quality I'd rather just have something like a gin or vodka cocktail.
There is legitimately good wine at just about every price point... You definitely should not write off a wine just because of the price.
And conversely, there's lots of BAD wine that's expensive.
Try everything and keep track of what you like! Your wine drinking experience will improve, and it'll probably cost you less to boot!
Absolutely, I shouldn't have used cheap as a synonym for bad, or vice versa, that's my mistake.
There are a lot of very good wines at low price points, especially from underappreciated regions. A little experimentation will result in finding some great value.
The same goes for the whiskey. There are a lot of distilleries out there with great offerings far below the price of the big names everyone recognizes. Especially when you take fads into account. Many bourbons and Japanese whiskeys that used to be good buys are now ridiculously priced.
Cheers to that!
My experience as well. For me, good bread and cheese are my "will not compromise" food
Yeah, but...are you saying you never want some shitty nachos?
Mit Nachos but i might get weak with loaded fries with molten cheese.
However, it ia worth a little work to turn great cheese into perfect molten cheese! With science!
My parents had decent taste and decent money when I was a teen. My first interactions with alcohol were expensive wines they were willing to give me a taste of and some expensive liquors I siphoned out of. I am now broke and all the liquor I can afford sucks. Their desire for bourgeois decadence ruined my college indulgences in cheap liquor.
