And I just don't get it.

Not sure why you seem to think that I only place Belgian beer in the high end territory, this was just an example of something I may enjoy while someone else may find unpalatable. Same with that Cohiba used as an example of "great cigar" someone posted above. All I can tell you is that I gave up on them BEFORE MOST of this board even started smoking cigars.

What I tried to point out and something that was quickly swept under the rug is TASTE PREFERENCE is ALWAYS SUBJECTIVE and NEVER OBJECTIVE.

Same way it was pointed out that some would rather smoke a Cremosa than drink Pabst (one example). I say, get off those drugs, but then again, it is MY taste preference and it is SUBJECTIVE.

Since you keep making points about "crappy wine", can you at least state what you consider a great wine?
