   Wine Price vs. Quality: Are You Paying for the Wine or the Story?

   EPISODE 37 | THE QUICK POURWine Price vs. Quality: Are You Paying for the Wine or the Story?Is a $250 bottle of wine really ten times better than a $25 bottle? Or are you paying for a famous château, a prestigious address, and a particularly compelling backstory?In this episode of The Quick Pour, we’re following the money—from vineyard land and winemaking decisions to scarcity, critic scores, legendary labels, and the occasional masterpiece of marketing.We’ll uncork what actually drives wine prices, when spending more genuinely delivers more, and why some of the world’s most memorable bottles come without a luxury price tag.Because great wine isn’t always expensive, expensive wine isn’t always great, and the difference between what a wine is worth and what we’re willing to pay for it might be the most fascinating thing in the glass.After all, a price tag can tell you what a bottle costs. It can’t tell you what it’s worth.Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.

   WiNE iS FOOD with Pablo Aguilar

   Born and raised in Ecuador, Pablo Aguilar brings a perspective on wine rooted in agriculture, food, culture, and the table. In this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, Pablo joins Lauren for a conversation that strips wine back to its roots — grapes grown by farmers, transformed through fermentation, and ultimately meant to be enjoyed alongside a meal. They explore why wine is too often treated as something separate from food, how that separation has shaped the way people learn about and experience wine, and what changes when we start thinking about it as an agricultural product first. From farming and restaurants to culture, hospitality, and the way we talk about what’s in our glass, Pablo makes the case for a simple idea with surprisingly big implications: Wine is food. And perhaps understanding wine begins not with memorizing regions or tasting notes, but with remembering where it came from — and where it has always belonged. Wine begins in agriculture & belongs at the table. @wineisfoodguide Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.
