DAE choose wine based only on looks of the bottle and price range (lower half, but not cheapest)?

The place for asking whether anybody else does the same stupid stuff like you do
I agree. I've tried various cheap wines, though, and the very cheapest taste like grape jelly or Welch's grape juice to me. Decent wine can be had for $6-10 a bottle. It seems like it gets good through about $30 and over that, excluding stuff that's merely overpriced, it's a gamble. Maybe I don't have a refined taste but some more expensive wines I've had are too heavy on weird astringency and odd flavors.
