How can a 12E wine that tastes like 5E Salento Primitivo be a good thing.

When you reach a certain point in your wine drinking story... it is more
about the alcohol you put through your liver or the pleasure you get than
about the price of a 12E bottle of wine.

Overly Jammy Zinfandel without the spice (...) vanilla custard... looks
like a wine I would not like to drink. Even at 1E it would be a bad
purchase.
