Can a CHEAP WINE be better than an iconic WINE???

By



Can a cheap red wine top a mid-range and expensive wine? Nero d’Avola is a fantastic red wine grape from Sicily. It used to be a blending grape but now makes fine Italian red wines on its own. Join me on a blind tasting of red wines made from Nero d’Avola.

    Again, enjoyed your video a lot. As is often the case….the truth is IN the bottle.

    I have had Nero a couple of times. One was clearly a mass-produced wine and it was like cough syrup. The second was a higher-end one and I was not impressed. It was OK, but for the $, there were better options. Loved the video as always

    Ouch! I'm definitely a fan of Nero d'Avola as well. I tend to enjoy it with a bit more age. Sitting on a bunch of them.

    Speaking of Syrah-Nero D'Avola comparisons, I tried a Sicilian Syrah recently (Cantine Fina Syrah) and it was wonderful – cheap too, I think it was around £15.

    Great video. That’s the power of blind tasting. Palates are so subjective. If I was to take away anything from that tasting is based on those three wines Producers of that grape maybe on par and price is based on some other factors.

    Hi Matthew, very interesting blind tasting, sometimes the wines just underdelivers, a few months ago had a 20 USD bottle beatten by a 5 USD, some producers think that with prestige is enough but the wine is not according to their price point.
    On a side note, this series of expensive vs cheap blind tastings reminded me a video I saw, where a cooker buys three bottles of wine to prepare a wine reduction sauce, he prepared sauces with a 1 USD, 20 USD and using a first grouth, also doing a blind tasting with them, since the cooker isn't a wine educated person, he has some interesting insights, I think you will enjoy the video and also will be a great video reaction, here is the Link to the video.

    Love how you never compromise! Recently had a very similar thing, where the most expensive wine placed 6th out of 7😅
