    there are some people for whom that taste is very much worth it.

    That’s just not true, though.

    • Things rich people buy are often about scarcity/vanity, not how good they are
    • Diminishing returns for increasing quality
    • You can overpay for anything and people/companies are ready to profit off that

    Supposed expert “connoisseurs” haven’t been able to tell famous high-priced wines apart in controlled taste tests.
