I cant tell the difference.
Same with food. Just not too picky with how things taste. Give me some Top Ramen for dinner and I'll be happy

Go to Wal Mart and get you some Oak Leaf "sweet red". It's cheap and good.

The price of wine bears almost no relationship to its quality. It probably has the weakest relationship of any food product.

Thats what I found. I think that you can get pretty decent drinking wines for a special occassion for less than $20
Now beer is totally different. I can tell the difference with beer
Perhaps I just have bad taste buds

Well you probably do have bad taste buds but that isn't really the issue.
You can get good wine for 3 bucks a bottle and bad wine for 30 bucks a bottle. It's pretty common at those blind taste tests that all the experts will pick the equivalent of the 3 buck chuck over the fancy designer wines. They've sorta stopped doing those tests lately because it's bad for the industry when everyone finds out what a sham most wine pricing is.

Most expensive wine I have had tasted absolutely awful to me; I find most of it undrinkably disgusting. I also can't drink champagne without wanting to vomit, it basically tastes like Easter egg coloring.
however, Boone's Farm is not bad.

The wine industry sounds like a corrupt one. I know that in last job the wine stewarts were horrible to deal with. They were so arrogant and hard to deal with

Not corrupt. It's just like most other luxury industries, but moreso. Luxury industries generally have strange pricing structures because the value of the product isn't immediately apparent. For wine the issue is exacerbated because the unrefined ingredients are exceedingly cheap. At least a loius vuitton bag costs *something* in materials costs. Grapes cost practically nothing.
So at least 90% of the price of an average bottle of wine is completely divorced from any sense of objective value. That is going to lead to a lot of divergent pricing strategies and those strategies arn't going to reflect much more than the pricer's ideas about how pricing should work.
