Is that about the tasting of wine, more pleasure when we know it is more expensive?
Link not working....

I'd take a bottle of $20 Chianti over pretty much any other wine at any cost.

We can apply this to Monster cables. Price is not a true indicator of how wine will taste, but it can be said the MAJORITY of expensive wines taste good and the MAJORITY of inexpensive wines taste mediocre.

But that testing was in open testing, price known. Open book test.
Tastes is very personal and as the test showed, price certainly can influence the mind to respond kindly to costly wines.

I like sweet wines, period and will shun the dry ones.

I see it all the time, people equate expensive with better, for Pete's sake look at what Bose marketing has been able to do with that notion! Build an empire on cheaply built, expensive retailed crap. It's the only thing I give Bose credit for.

My favorite wines are cheap. People don't care to spend more apparently, it's an ego thing.
