A large sample of blind tastings supports the theory that cheap wine is fine.

Oh come on, who doesnt love a tall glass of Boone's Farm.
I don't think that is really wine. Not sure, never had it. But I thought it was a malt type beverage.

When I was in Spain my roommate and I would have a bottle of wine every night for dinner, usually just the 1 Euro or 2 Euro stuff... (one night I splurged on a bottle of 5 Euro stuff)
It was decent and all more or less the same for me
We buy Relax Reisling and its fantastic at 9 dollars a bottle. Toasted Head has a pretty good chardonney at 12.
there are great finds out there in the mid priced area.... great finds.
There is a wine from Cali that is only $3 .. something like "3buckcab" or something... very .. VERY good wine. The owner believes in inexpensive wines and wines for everyone not those that can afford it.

That's the wine's they sell at Trader Joes and they can be very good. They're made from leftover and unused grapes from wineries all over California, so you could potentially be getting really good wine.
These types of studies are always skewed by people's preferences for wine. If I hate Chardonnay, it doesn't matter if it's a $2 bottle or a $200 bottle, I'm not going to like it.
We tried a similar experiment with friends once. We bought 3 bottles of Pinot Noir, an $8 bottle, a $20 bottle and a $50 bottle and did a blind tasting. It was easy to identify the $8 bottle, but the $20 and $50 bottles weren't as easy to differentiate.
