Please, let me rephrase this. There is a big difference
between a two dollar bottle of wine and a two hundred dollar bottle of
wine. Understand?

Yep. One leaves you broke, the other leaves you with $198 to buy 99 more
bottles and throw a big party for the few remaining ski bums [cf other
thread.]

And some of us can't tell the difference and don't care.

As my cheapskate brother puts it: wine, beer, whiskey, cigarettes,
coffee, champaign, etc. The first time you try any of them you don't
like it. You have to *acquire* a taste for any of those things.

And if you're going to go to the time and effort of acquiring a taste
for something, you might as well acquire a taste for the cheap stuff.

I'm still trying to find a flaw in his logic....

There isn't any.
