Wine Myths Busted: Legs, Age, and Price Don’t Tell the Whole Story

Rusty Sellers and Sour Grapes to bust three of the most common wine myths:

Wine Legs Mean Quality

The truth: Legs reflect alcohol and sugar content, not flavor or complexity.

Sour’s take: “The only legs I trust are the ones that walk me out of a bad blind date.”

Older Wine is Always Better

Reality: Only a small fraction of wines age well. Most are meant to be enjoyed young.

Sour’s story: That “aged to perfection” bottle? It tasted like wet socks — even his dog Bubbly wouldn’t touch it.

Expensive Wine Tastes Better

Fact: Price can reflect rarity or reputation, but taste is personal.

Sour’s roast: “$300 for dirty laundry water. My twelve-buck Chianti hit the high notes so good, the lasagna asked for an encore.”
