Buffett’s anecdote:

Many people admire the wine produced in France as the best in the world. Buffett expressed doubts. At a dinner party, the host took out a bottle of red wine and said: This is the most expensive wine in France and the price is very expensive. I specially invited Mr. Buffett to taste it.
