I've given people "good" wine only to discover that the wine was dreadful. I tried relying on the wine ratings of publications such as Wine Enthusiast only to discover that some wines rated as "good" were to be polite, odd. Now if I don't have personal knowledge that a wine is good, I bring two or three $10-15 bottles rather than one $30 experiment. My delivery message is, here is a bottle of red, a bottle of wine and champagne for making whatever floats your boat. You get credit for spending the $30 and have at least a 1 in 3 chance of succeeding. If only Wall Street had a similar approach to risk management.

The same logic works with beer.
