Wine is a bit of an exception when it comes to that rule.
While truly good wines will often cost quite a bit, wines in the <$15 price range fairly often beat those in the $15-50 range when tested blindly by experts.
A good example is champagne. Moët et Chandon, around $30 per bottle, consistently finishes dead last in taste tests for affordable champagne - usually even behind the <$10 fake champagnes (which, on the other hand, regularly win).
There are lots of good inexpensive wines, as well as lots of disgusting higher-priced ones. Price definitely does not guarantee quality.
