As the guy who buys his own wine and isn’t that picky, I’d much rather open a $5 bottle than one ten times that price. Especially if it’s a sweet red; then I can get an order of magnitude more drink than the snob who likes sour grapes.
(And, honestly, $50 is way too much for a common bottle of wine. Even $30 is nearly in the realm of conspicuous consumption.)
