I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I can't tell the difference between wine at all. Whiskey and beer I can definitely tell the difference between cheap and good stuff, but once you hit the 80$+ range it all blends together.

grape wine sucks

there's more complexity in Shaoxing cooking wine than grape wine

also the best beer I've ever had was some artisanal non-alcoholic one, I've been trying to find it for 10 years but never succeeded
