Dollar value has nothing to do with a great bottle of wine.
Your sense of smell, your pallete, pairing with food, color, one of my personal favorite tests is simply balance.... the balance of smell to actual taste of wine, theres many many more factors. The list goes on... Theres no simple math for a good bottle of wine.
And to be honest, most of the time its a matter of personal preference.
Just because one person likes a wine, doesnt mean another person will.
I suggest going to smaller local stores that sell specifically wine. Some of them have all day tasting for you to try. Talk to them... and they will chat you up about wine all day..
My favorite place is a little local wine store in Kensington Plaza in Burnaby. Tell them how much you want to spend, your likes and dislikes, and they will pair you up with a nice bottle of wine.
