Think paying more for wine guarantees good quality? Think again
Brock University oenologist Belinda Kemp deconstructs what goes into the price of a bottle of wine.

Belinda Kemp is a Senior Staff Scientist in Oenology at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont. She says price is an indicator of quality, not a guarantee — and your opinion of a wine depends on your personal taste and preferences.
