If the bottle has a nice vibe, I will enjoy drinking it. The only measure of quality I can apply based on taste is if it does or doesn't taste unpleasantly acidic. If I wanted to get into wine, I wouldn't even know where to start.

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.
