Another wonderful session, thank you! More of these would be awesome. I think many peoples enjoy watching MWs struggle with blind tastings, not only because of the fun factor, but we can see the thought process when you are lost (vs easy straightforward puzzles) and that’s a great way to learn. Please keep these coming, I have learned a lot from your channel. (Now got to find if any good German burgundies are available in the US)

Hello Konstantin, I really enjoy your channel and your manner of discussing wines (thank you You Tube algorithm). I am a native Oregonian and enjoy our Pinot Noir and Italian Barbaresco. But I was very happy to hear you mention the Arhtal, an area I visited often when I lived in The Netherlands. I enjoyed many hikes down the Arhtal and was introduced to their Spaetburgunder when I entered a small town from the hiking trail and was ushered into the fundraising event by local volunteer fireman. After many glasses, I continued by foot to Ahrweiler, and took the train back to Ahrbrueck. I found it amazing that a red wine was grown so far north in Germany, but that is a wonderful micro-climate. I will visit the area again and wish the people there a rapid recovery from the recent terrible flooding.

[@ferencmolnar6640]

Really like your channel. Exciting and useful, especially accompanied by a nice slurp. My recent "good value" pinot noir is the 2017 Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Clos du Cellier aux Moines. Easily beats many Cote d'Or wines at half the price. Also we have some very nice and good value whites here in the Somló wine region of Hungary. I recommend the hárslevelű of Kolonics which I just tasted last week. It's a ridiculous bargain at around 10 Euros. Just keep on rockin Konstantin :)

[@mattfilos2873]

Suggestion to do a video on what you do if you do not finish bottle same night, how does you opinion change next day. How can you best keep overnight. What wines stay longer after open. Thanks

[@robertallair7278]

Hello Konstantin, I am one of those new subscribers to your channel. Greetings from Canada! I have watched quite a few of your videos and I enjoy them very much, and this one is no exception. To answer your question, my favourite value wines are from Spain and Portugal. I have very high hopes for the Colheita Douro by Quinta de Couquinho I bought today. It certainly was not inexpensive at $45CAD (way more than I usually spend!) but the quality should be comparable to wines costing a lot more.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Welcome to the Crew! Spain and Portugal offers great quality at pretty low prices.

[@solomonmengeu1003]

One of your most interesting videos yet Konstantin, quite educational and easy to follow. I am not a wine expert, I would put myself more in the wine geek category. I have noticed from reading Decanter, wine blogs, wine media/articles, watching KZbin videos (yours and Wine King and others) that once you go past the 50 US$/euro price point, quality isn't guaranteed or spending more doesn't necessarily get you higher quality wine. I do enjoy your clear and precise explanations and how you balance the technical and scientific aspects of wine with a fun and relaxing delivery/presentation style. Please keep them coming.

[@elijahumogilevsky7004]

Very interesting and informative, as usual, thanks a lot! Recently I revealed to myself wines from Capo de Borja region of Spain. It's quite a long time that I became a big fan of Grenache made wines and it feels like in Capo de Borja there is pretty much value for adequate prices. Also, as many wine drinkers, I fell in love with Bierzo region and Mencia variety which is just incredible in value and nice in the price point.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thanks for sharing! I love Bierzo!

[@matthiaspucklitzsch449]

My favorite value wines are the Cote du Rhône’s from Guigal and Perrin. Both below 10 Euro. Always good quality and taste.

My favourite value wine used to be Domaine Boyar from Bulgaria. When I lived in Canada you could find it for about $5 CAD. Now, it’s often something from Portugal. I live in Rhode Island (US) where there is a large Portuguese community which means good selection from the home country!

[@saschawelser9662]

I discovered your channel and I love it! This tasting was fun, but arguably it is not the hardest to identify Pinot Noir from your home region (which you should know by heart) and from Burgundy (which has a very distinctive taste and style). I recommend from Schloss Goldenberg (Switzerland) the 2016 Fortissimo with a unique twist on PN and their nicely balanced Chardonnay!

That is true - there are more difficult tastings

Really cool! More or less the only content that gets me onto KZbin these days. Keep up the good work :) Favourite ‘everyday value’ wines are from the Scheidgen Grauburgunder and Rieslings.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thanks!

[@Ildskalli]

The best local offer that I can think of is the Aromo Viognier 2020, a wine that can sometimes be found for less than 3 USD per bottle, and compares favorably to whites costing 2-3x as much.

[@Craider79]

This is all about if you are trained / used to valuing certain flavor profiles. Familiarity is basically more important than quality when it comes to a lot of tastes - and this very much includes wines. I live in Denmark and a lot of us Scandinavians have a fondness for salty "salmiak" licorice - give the same candy to someone who isn't used to it, and they will most likely spit it out. I have very rarely met anyone who wasn't used to the taste who like it... I however can ABSOLUTELY crave the taste to a point where nothing else can "replace" it. So you bravo for being able to taste what you were educated to taste (not meant ironically) - however - for most "normal people" expensive wines are a waste of money - especially if you don't tell them it's an expensive wine while serving it. Just knowing something is expensive massively increases the chance that people will think it's better than they would if they were not told this. - There are literally 100's of studies proving this exact point.

[@itsmederek1]

That logic could be applied to everything though. Its a waste to get an expensive car if you are not into cars as well.

[@Craider79]

@@itsmederek1 Nah that's not the same at all simply because if you drive in a cheap car and then drive an expensive car you - no matter who you are - can tell the difference simply because of the difference in materials and build quality - not to mention equipment level. When it comes to wine however you could take a 1000$ bottle and put it in between a bunch of 50$ bottles - and 99% of all people wouldn't notice - again - this has been tested numerous times. If you however tell people the price - it changes drastically! HOWEVER - again - if you then play a trick on people and place an normal "good" bottle of wine in between the expensive ones and say it's really expensive - they will most likely say it tastes really expensive.

[@Michaelhendersonnovelist1]

This price-to-quality issue has always interested me. Although I would never buy a wine more than about 20 euro, I've found very little improvement in quality as the price goes up. The chart you drew was spot on. I live in the Campania region of Italy, which means I drink exclusively Italian wines. Because there are only a couple of small wine shops where I live with limited selection, I buy from online retailers. These retailers have very nice search engines where I can select a price point and rating. There are a reasonable number of wines with over 90 points at around 10 euro. One very good wine I enjoy is Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOP Mascoli 2021 Rupicapra, which is on sale now for 4 euro. That is probably the best wine for the money I've found, although it has no point rating. The best wine for the money rated by James Suckling at 91 points is Aglianico Del Vulture DOC Taglio Del Tralcio 2020 Re Manfredi, which I buy for 10.40 euro.

[@Markinfilm]

Well, you are fortunate to live in Italy much like me where 20 Euro will get you a very very good wine. I think as far price point vs quality, Italian wines are very good. Now I live in Florence and I can assure you there's a difference between a Cianti Classico at 15 and even a Vin Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello or Bolgheri at 50+ Euro.

[@joeicity]

I live in the USA and can find what I believe are good quality Pinot Grigio wine frequently from Friuli and old vine Zin usual from California for the 10 USD each. Between these two varieties/styles I can pair well with most of the foods I enjoy and these are therefore my go to wines. Any tips on similar wines that would be fun to try? I enjoy trying and learning.

My favorite value wine is BEND. A cabernet sauvignon from Napa, California.

Thanks!

This would have been better with a wider price range in my opinion. Otherwise, very nice.

I, generally, love Pinot noirs. Price, definitely, does not equate to quality. I’ve tasted Pinots noirs that cost under $25 USD that are very good and I’ve tried them over that price point, and have been disappointed.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

That is true. Especially in Burgundy

so it was 1,2,3,& 4? What are the chances?

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

I think they are the same as having them in any other order ... but my Probability skills are a bit rusty...

Most of the time you do get what you are paying for, as long as you know what it is you are paying for!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

True.

They were arranged in order of price and quality from (your ) left to right. You need to mix them up.

For me definitely very limoux chardonnay from anne de joyeus 12,95 for a propper chardonnay with real wood not to over the top.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Sounds good!

[@carlcadregari7768]

Would be interested in your BLIC scores. And would love to see another with all new world wines, same grape, not Pinot Noir😁😁. Thanks. Great video!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Saint cosme/Guigal, cotes du Rhone is prettty good for around 10€

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

I agree!

Overly tannic wines may be "high quality," but to my palate, they are flawed. Some may integrate the tannins after years, but I'm in my 70s, so I ain't laying anything down for 10 years.l
