99$ for 3 bottles from American Airlines a month? I'm struggling to understand who the target market is.
People who want some pretty decent reasonable wines at a 30% discount?
I could believe that there is a tenuous link between price and quality, but that's not the same as saying there is no good wine.
Did that to a couple of headstrong wine people, they were unable to tell their favorite (chardonnay for one and shiraz for another) from a bunch of AUD7 bottles.
Not sure if we could have told it from a $40 bottle, but it certainly stood head and shoulders above the $20 bottles we typically buy.
Does that mean that there is no insecure and secure chat softwares?
To leverage your example, it would be like selling “secure e2e chat” (label) at a high price, although it uses insecure tech.
Wine experts also can't tell if they're tasting 3 glasses from the same bottle.
I don't mean to say you can't stuff up a batch of wine, but basically everything that made it to the store in the current state of quality control is good enough to not be told apart by anyone.
No. It is possible to select three different wines that even people with excellent palettes can't really differentiate between, and it is possible with some suggestion to make people believe the same wine is different wines. It is also true that some wine "experts" have terrible palettes.
That is not the same piece of information as "wine experts also can't tell if they're tasting 3 glasses from the same bottle".

They literally fed the same judges the same wine in multiple glasses and got different scores.
It looks like American Airlines has had a partnership with Vinesse dating back to at least 2017: https://thepointsguy.com/2017/11/review-vinesse-wine-club-wo....
It looks like what's new is that they've slapped the Flagship brand on it, and given it a nice story to go with it.
