      An apt comparison given that “wine tasting” is bunk.

      When it comes right down to it, subjective experience for inherently subjective things like taste should be all that matters. Million-dollar price tags for art or bottles of wine are purely performative, things having high value simply because everyone has collectively agreed that it should have high value (often for purposes of tax evasion or social standing).

      If there’s a bottle of wine or a piece of art that I enjoy the experience of, what does it matter how it was created?
