That being said, I’ll drink boxed wine and sometimes I’ll spend $60 on a nice bottle to share on a special occasion.

That sort of supports what I'm saying though. You drink wines that you think taste good, not wines that are supposed to be special just because of their pedigree. Those are the wines that get sold to wine snobs for $10,000. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.

There's huge difference between expensive wines and outrageously prices ones.

The ones costing thousands or tens of thousands are always in some way extremely rare sorts, crazy example is the bottles found in Titanic's wreck.
