…to a reasonable degree, at least.

    Wine - it is full of marketing gimmick and usually the mid range is best. The same is with whisky, rums and other alcohol.

    On the other hand, at least here, is better to pay premium for craft beer.

      Depends on the country you’re in.

        For wine it is universal, but yes I can’t get decent cider without paying premium, I think that in UK it is different.

          I’m in the UK and there’s definitely better cider if you’re willing to pay £5+ for a single bottle but there used to be a really cheap South African cider that was way better than the big UK brands. IDK what happened but you only seem to be able to get it online at a way higher cost now.

          More expensive bourbon tends to be more interesting but not necessarily more pleasant to drink. In my case it quickly becomes too fancy for my taste buds around 2-3x the price of the cheapest one. Whiskey is a bit more complicated.
