Wine Discussion

I just got home from work and selling extended warranties on electronics got me thinking...

We frequently shop for the best insurance quotes for medical, life, auto and home or renter's insurance. We are now given warranties as well as the ability to purchase extended warranties on all electronics and household appliances, as well as all vehicles. What about consumable purchases? Obviously if we are dining out and are unsatisfied with a meal or beverage, most restaurants will replace the item or refund the cost. I'm the queen of wine under $5 so I don't really expect any guarantees, but what about the $100 or more bottles of wine? While I haven't personally heard of any guarantees, what do those of you that drink high end wines base your purchases on? Do you have to try a wine before you would put out $100 for a bottle? Would you trust the word of others? With no guarantee, what is the most you would pay for a bottle and how upset would you be if it turned out un-drinkable?

Let me know your thoughts..
