      If you take a look at how dense these buds are you will see a major difference. Now some strains are airy and some are dense but if we also take a look here you can see how crystaly lyk this bud appears compared to this bud. Now taste test. So *cough* you can really *cough* taste this bud, it’s lemony with a hint of earthy undertones, as compared to this bud... *Cough* it’s tastes like dirt and you can tell it wasn’t dried nor rinsed out correctly.

      Although not wanting to taste until she'd checked out the look and smell of both is a little shady.
      In genuine tests, the tasters are presented with two or more identical glasses of wine. They get no advance hints from the containers. They are also wrong about as much as they are correct.

Though I'm not an expert but have started understanding the terms mentioned by her. But surely there are many parameters which can distinguish between cheap and expensive wine.

      barefoot is actually a pretty good wine it's just much cheaper in the US than anywhere in Europe because of imports since it's a local wine, in France you can have a high quality wine like a champagne, nuits-saint-georges for 4€ just because it's local and went trough less hops and vendors and less import the same wines in the US most be around 20 to 40 dollars...

    As someone who is learning to do this, if you think you can't do this, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to at least start! Beginning palette training is easily done with lots of ingredients that you can pick up anywhere, some of which you may even have right now at home.
    I began my palette training simply by setting aside 3 cups of water, adding a pinch of sugar to one, adding a pinch of salt to the other, and then leaving the other as is. Mix up the glasses, take small sips, see if you can identify which has which. For an extra challenge, take those same 3 glasses, mix 2 of them in 3 separate glasses, and see if you can identify what the mix is. You'd be surprised by how easy, and fun, it can be.
    We also do palette training with fruit, vegetables, nuts, chocolate, and herbs. We also do scent training, which can be a little pricey for the kit, but if you're looking for a new hobby that you just might turn into something more, I really suggest it! Good luck to you!

      Maybe because it was too easy? It's not like it was a $15 vs $18 comparison, but rather a $9 vs $90 in the end. Even the less extreme examples were still "clearly aged in a barrel" vs "not really aged but kept in stainless steel". Clearly an expert would have no trouble with it. The version with the knives was similar, where it got a lot of blowback in the comments for the last one being a $3100 piece of forged art verses...just some knife for bread.

By 30 I had a DUI, 3 suicide attempts, a stint in rehab and several prescriptions from mental health doctors since I was 14. Why don't you drink if you don't mind me asking? I'm doing a lot better at 35 but it's still a struggle and I'm still looking for an answer.

      I've honestly never heard a wine expert disparage cheaper wines, and I've been around wine and wine people for more than a decade now. I've heard some people do that while trying to pretend they're a wine expert, but never anybody who is actually knowledgeable. I think wine by its very nature encourages people to be in good cheer and want to be good company, and the quality of cheap wine today is so much better than it has ever been. There's some really good value wines. Can you get better paying more? Sure. Is that always worth it? No. I'd rather drink the cheap stuff every day and get to afford the nicer stuff for special occasions. I like to get a nice well-aged Barolo for my birthday every year, as a present to myself, and share it with good company, but am I going to bust out a really expensive wine to drink with my pasta and meatballs on a Thursday night? Nah. $8 bottle goes down just fine, even if my spaghetti is handmade with saffron, and the meatballs are from three different kinds of animals, simmering in a pot with homemade tomato sauce for a couple hours developing a ton of flavor. A good value wine holds up fine to just about everything, and any real expert would acknowledge that. Experts aren't made of money, and they obviously like wine enough to want it all the time so it should be obvious they drink more of the cheaper stuff than almost anyone. They just know they can get a lot out of the really good stuff when they can get it, and they know how to find the really good values in cheaper wine they drink all the time.

    Now I know there's an actual reason for the stereotype of the rich guy swirling about the wine in his glass all the time. It actually helps with the taste - thanks for the information, you evidently have a lot of chemistry knowledge and enthusiasm for your field. Keep up the good work and keep breaking that image! :)

      You'll see beer and whisky drinkers do the same. All those volatile chemicals get released by the kinetic action and start to oxidize. Whisky drinkers will also sometimes add a couple drops of water into a glass to help open it up.
      The reason wine glasses are the shapes they are, is to help keep the aromas from escaping. They stay in the bowl and get inhaled by the nose and mouth while smelling or sipping. Generally, and especially with a nice bottle of wine that's aged long enough to develop a lot of complex aromas, you will want to decant a bottle, or at a minimum open the bottle for a while before pouring it, to allow the air to start mixing with the wine. There's always a sweet spot where the wine reaches its pinnacle after the bottle is opened, but before it oxidizes too much.
