What is it about food that causes snobbery and invented elitism?

Professionals literally can't tell they're drinking the same wine 3 times in a row

>butthurt wine maker is butthurt about tasters being subjective, tries to discredit the system and maybe substitute it for a gas chromatography that always throw the same number to put in the labels

Confirmed shitposter.

it's a very accessible form of snobbery

Let's dispel the myth that an expensive wine it's better.
Not always. Wine price is determined by the winemaker balls, literally. It used to be justified: low yield and old vines produce little wine but very good. Now it's a fucking meme: people buy a shitton of old vines and sell millions of liters at 25$ the bottle, and then bitch and moan when parker gives them a 80.
Now there's a movement trying to substitute taste with machines, because beep boop machines can always give you a 100 even if the wine tastes like poop.

Y'ALL WHITE PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND SEASONINS & FLAVA!

Are you calling me a nigger? That is very rude.

you can still bottle shit wine in fancy bottles, but only if you sell it at supermakets at 3 dollars the bottle

>fuck up and make basically vinegar
>put a fancy label on it and sell it as high end balsamic vinegar
>tryhard ""foodies"" buy it in droves for $50 a bottle

try 0.99 a bottle, balsamic vinegar is not regular, shit vinegar

It's entirely subjective, and as old a religion, so people are really touchy about it.
Add on the people making money on their homeopathy and you get guys like who think wine is a unique snow flake of flavor, despite the objective fact that the vast major of people, can't and won't notice a differences between wine and wine.
