Also suspect if oenophiles did blind tastings of expensive wines along
with some mass market wines, they may not always reliably pick out the
cheap stuff.

That has often happened.
I long ago just decided to enjoy what I enjoy - saved me a fortune on wines, especially!
Although I must admit that the best wine I ever had was a very aged Champagne that apparently cost over £100 (provided by a friend!) - and I normally don't even like Champagne.

A party of us once bought (deliberately!) 4 coffees and two soft drinks from one of the St. Mark's Square cafes in Venice. That was also £200+! But we were expecting it - it was a long arranged special occasion.

I always prefer champagnne when the gas has dispersed. I prefer wines
without fizz, seems to have more flavour.

How do you manage to keep it that long?
Champagne is supposed to keep its fizz for some 36 hours after
opening...

Had that on a domestic flight in Jamaica about 10 years ago. They also
called it "champagne flights", but you did have to ask the stewardess for
it. Then you would get half a plastic cup full of some kind of sparkling
wine ;-)
Of course it wasn't the real stuff.
