If your friend is an open-minded person, you might try an educational
approach by opening his bottle and one of yours to taste them side by side
with food. You might tell him/her that a good meal can be enjoyed even more
with a fine wine. Many people who pretend that they "can't taste the
difference anyway" can be convinced if they have the opportunity to
compare. Of course, a diplomatic way of entering the topic would not be to
state that he bought rubbish, but that mini-markets are not a source of fine
wine...

Good luck!
