Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Skeptical

Sunday co-host journalist Peter Colpert. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories,

secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical

advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker.

And during the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers.

On Sundays, we got skeptical Sunday.

We're a rotating guest co-host and I break down a topic you may have never thought

about and debunk common misconceptions about that topic, such as recycling, Sunday, where a rotating guest co-host and I break down a topic you may have never thought about

and debunk common misconceptions about that topic, such as recycling, astrology, acupuncture,

expiration dates, sovereign citizens, e-commerce, scams, diet supplements, and more.

And if you're new to the show, or you want to tell your friends about the show, and I always appreciate it when you do that,

I suggest our episode starter packs. These are collections of our favorite episodes on persuasion, negotiation, psychology,

disinformation, cyber warfare, crime and cults, and more. That'll help new listeners get a taste

of everything we do here on the show. Just visit jordanharbinger.com slash start or search for us

in your Spotify app to get started. Today we are uncorking a fascinating topic.

What makes a good bottle of wine so dang expensive?

Can a thousand dollar bottle of wine really be a hundred times better

than that $10 bottle of Josh in the back of your fridge?

Would most people even be able to tell the difference?

Joining me to explore these questions is our resident wine expert, at least as of last week.

Peter Colpart.
