> There are many other factors that go into the making of super value wine, but the bottom line is this: You get what you pay for. And if you’re not paying much for Two Buck Chuck or California Roots, you’re not getting much, either.

A long article which ends at the default lie of all "premium" products: If the price of something is high it is because of better quality. And: We would never, ever put additives into our premium products like these cheap manufacturers.

And if you believe that .. it's bridge selling time.

Having seen the production process of some premium wine, and having friends that own wineries/beer breweries, and having had industry experience providing software for food manufacturers, I'd say your cynicism does NOT necessarily correspond to reality there.

I also found: https://www.kalw.org/post/evaluating-taste-and-cost-two-buck...

But I haven't read it yet, so I am not sure if it is worth it.
