You might want to tell the Master Sommelier teaching my Sommelier training class that he is making generalizations then. With that said, realize that your statement about my experience is an assumption. My experience is not limited. One of the perks of waiting tables to support myself through school is free sommelier training and wine tastings every week.
Not necessarily people with bad taste, but people who dont know much about wine. People will also buy wine according to price and there is nothing wrong with that. I'm not rich enough to go drop 350 dollars on a bottle of wine for dinner. Just from my 3 years of fine dining many people have order because they recognize a name and have not had it before. More people are going to recognize Cakebread, Mondavi, and Duckhorn over Twomey or Honig vineyards. Those who purchase because of name recognition certainly do not out weigh those wine-o's and wine snobs which is why boutique winerys are still around.
