This would never happen with beer.

No one is going to confuse Budweiser with a fine English ale or a top Belgian brew.

I doubt they compared this Two Buck Chuck (Yes. I've tried all of its varieties several years ago.) to any even mediocre French wine. But at least they don't overcharge for the TBC. The mediocre French wine I am thinking of probably goes for about $8/bottle.

Beer, as in wine is a matter of taste, personal preference, and the ability to pay.

I agree, I’m not into the wine snobbery, kinda of like coffee. I know beer, I like beer, I can choose different beers per the occasion. But I haven’t a clue when it comes to wine, so I drink beer.

Having traveled extensively through many parts of the world with the military, I’ve had opportunity to taste lots of different beers.

Heaven help me, but, if I really pick the beer I like best just to sit down and drink, I’ll pick a Shoenling Little King Cream Ale every single time. Sick, I know. But I l love the flavor.

Actually, it would depend on the style. A 35 cent bottle of Czech pils in Europe, can easily be as good or better than any microbrew pils, regardless of cost (maybe 7 times as expensive(?)), made in the USA.

Nor would anyone mistake a bottle of 1984 Gaja Barbaresco for $4 Buck Chuck Cabaret....
