I don't know about the first part, but the part about media culture seems manifestly true. I wonder how many bourbon channels there are on youtube that have over 100k subs. Quite a lot I'd have to guess. I think this cultural aspect fuels people to buy things up with little regard to their personal preferences. I know lots of people that picked up "bottle x" based purely on hype, not whether they like it or not. |

There is a pizza place down the road, "State of Mind", which has all sorts of crazy slices. Mostly, they look good, with taste seemingly taking second place to cool, or wow factor.
I am convinced that the people ordering there, do so for appearances.
I think this makes sense, as a lot of people really have poor taste buds. They often, as in your example, cannot tell the flavour differences betwen burbons, but, want to get the good stuff.
