What is "premium" wine?

Just like cars.

There are some really bad cars, the majority are average and quite a few
good ones, but there is no relation of price/vs quality.

Same in wines.

Like BMW, Mercedes Benz, Hummers and Jaguars, some of the worst cars in the
world, and the most expensive.

These are sold to liberals and latte' drinkers who work for the state or
fed government and have so much disposable money and guarunteed jobs and
benefits they can afford to do no research and buy expensive shit.

Wine is the same. Expensive crappy wine sold to the poser and efite
elitist dumbasses of the Hollywood/New York cocktail circuit of crooks,
thieves, politicians, actors, con artists and government workers.

The average Lindemans or Jacobs creek wine is far better than many
expensive wines, and much cheaper.

A Jacobs Creek Reserve Red at $17 a bottle is FAR superior to any foofoo
liberal shit wine for posers at $70 a bottle.

Just like those crappy BMW and Audi shit cars, it's all in the marketing.
If you can't sell your average to badly made crappy cars, raise the prices
and spend more on your advertising budget than quality control and WALLA!
You can sell them to the ignorati who have too much undeserved money to
spend.

Heh... Remember a few years back when we'all were having the discussion
about the $100 bottle of wine at the Four Seasons?

Just like Neuveu riche negroes in Las Vegas ordering shitty bottles of
crappy "crystal" or whatever their handlers tell them is the most expensive
bottle in the house is, for that year. Regardless if it's any good or not.

Shaking their fake bling bling, acting like big shots, ****ing white
whores, real winners these morons are.

Most vulvas are average made cars, neither bad nor good, but appeal to the
great unwashed masses of ignorati liberal chicks with no common sense because
"it's safe!".

Yah, just as safe as any other car ya ****ing morons.

It is overpriced, and average, just not a total loss and if you're an
ignorant liberal ( any other kind?) I guess they can't go too wrong...I mean,
they could buy a Chrysler product or Yugo or a Trebant....

The old Volvos were designed primarily for optimal bumper-sticker space,
which is why they were popular in the Northeast.
