Low Cost Alternative To EXPENSIVE Wines

This is just ripe for discussion here ...

Australian startup Wine Cue is combining the chemical composition of wines with customer ratings for what it hopes to be a more objective wine recommendation engine than existing systems that are based on historical transactions.

It's going to be an app!

Interesting concept, but I'll want to see it working before I'm convinced. If you think about it, "finding low cost alternatives to expensive wines" is what a lot of wine geeks already do! We just don't use chemical markers to do it.

Or...you could just do what I do...Buy the wine with the coolest label. I've got a bottle of expensive Cabernet right now with a picture of Elvis on the label. Figure any wine with Elvis on the label has GOT to be good. If it ain't, well I just wasted 9 bucks.

Big spender

Hahaha i use the same method. It seems to work well for the ~2 bottles of wine I buy per year.

It feels like my soul dies a little when I spend more than $10 for wine.
