Price difference between cheap wine and expensive is R$ 43.50
SAO PAULO - The idea that wine is expensive signal quality was contradicted by Protest - Consumers Association, which evaluated 55 white wines, domestic and imported, and found that one of the best evaluated costs five times less than the most expensive found in the study.
The Brazilian label Riesling Clos des Nobles was the cheapest wine analyzed and better evaluated, being found for the minimum price of R$ 10.50 and a maximum of R$ 16.40. While the most expensive Casa Valduga Gran Reserva, was found by the minimum and maximum prices of R$ 54 and R$ 69.90 respectively. This represents a savings of at least R$ 43.50.
The survey considered domestic wines, Argentine, Chilean, Portuguese, French and Italian vintages from 2009 to 2011 and cost from R$ 10.50 to R69.90. Analyses were performed by ordinary consumers and sommeliers.
quality
The sommeliers encountered problems such as oxidation, which occurs because of excess air and changes the color of the wine, affecting their quality, and use of sorbic acid, used as a preservative to prevent refermentation drink.
The oxidation may occur by a leakage or improper storage of the bottle and not be a feature of factory products. Since the acid can alter the sensory characteristics of wine these brands lost points in the evaluation.
