I'm definitely not a wine "connoisseur" by any means, and don't think cost has much of anything to do with the quality of the wine. I've had some amazing cheap wine, and awful expensive wine. However, to me this article misses the point. The more interesting question to me would be: Can these judges continually figure out if a wine is "bad" or "good". Give them the same two wines over and over again, one being "bad" (Franzia) and another being "good" (Some agreed upon California cab or similar) and see what shakes out. I'd be very surprised if any of the judges couldn't figure out which was worse than the other.
