On a (slightly) related note, fMRI brain scans of people drinking cola revealed that premium cola brands (Coke & Pepsi) stimulated the left ventral striatum, while the generic cola brand stimulated the medial orbitofrontal cortex. The belief that you are drinking a specific brand impacts “neural responses signalling reward in the brain."

Perception is very important and the prior belief of what you believe reality to be. Food coloring plays a big role exploiting this, price exploits this, packaging, etc., etc. It's all about consciousness perceiving reality then confirming its own assumptions heavily based on belief.

Not sure about wine and champagne because I hate it all. Beer is fine, I rarely care what kind it is, as long as its in a mug, warm beer doesn't bother me , cant stand the dark ale.

When it comes to the Hard stuff, I absolutely can tell the diffidence between knock off brands and name brands. Knock off brands of Crown, Grand Marnier, and especially Frangelico are not good. Sometimes I like cheap brands better then expensive ones. I think Smirnoff Vodka is better then Grey Goose or absolute.

I would bet against you unless maybe you had a giant nose.
