Opinion and remarks
Logarithm curve with price and taste (or enjoyment or perceived pleasure). The tipping point one can call the BS point is when the taste difference is simply too subtle to be noticed (except from few oenologists) and thus only the price has an influence.
This behavior is not entirely ridiculous as wine aficionado are very social animals i.e. who cares how you taste, what matters is your status.
