just because something is rare doesn't mean it's good; a random rock on a beach is one of a kind but you couldn't sell it for a penny

no, if it's less expensive it's because there is work involved in cellaring a wine and that adds value

That is precisely what I am saying. Rare (and because of that, expensive) doesn’t make a wine good.

Yes, for wines that are hundreds of dollars, but that doesn’t necessarily add any quality. For wines that are thousands of dollars, they’re just scarce.
