Beginning next week: can you tell the difference between a wine A and wine B costing twice as much? We'll also take a deep dive into what affects wine pricing and where the money goes. https://t.co/0HmPo6aUZM

In our next online tasting, three Chardonnays followed by three Cabernets. For each, one wine costs twice as much as another, and there's a mid-point wine too. Can tasting prove that you get what you pay for? And what exactly are you paying for? Full info: https://t.co/0HmPo6aUZM
