Quality is a tricky word, but in terms of the appreciation of craft goods, your ability to identify the subtleties that make more higher quality products _better_ is a learned trait.<p>If your references are wrong, or you miss out on the identification of a nuance, you haven&#x27;t learned from the experience.<p>For example, individuals who say &quot;I can&#x27;t taste the difference between a $30 and $300 bottle of wine&quot; are not _wrong_ - they just lack the formative experiences and education to appreciate the attributes that the more expensive product has.<p>Thus, if you decide that wine or beer or chocolate was of interest to you, it may be worthwhile to validate and trust your reference products.
