The classification of a good wine is very speculative. From the taster standpoint, flavor and aroma are key factors in the determining of a great wine. Other factors can make or break a wine's reputation when not done consistently over time. There are also off days or years when wine is produced that used a lesser quality crop of grapes to make the wine. These are off years that should be considered for their unique or unorthodox flavor and quality.
Many times the flavor of the wine is a major deciding factor of classification of the wine. Obviously, more expensive wines have a more sophisticated flavor that will leave the palate very satisfied. Other times, small changes in flavor are determined by the process in which the wine is aged. Many times, aging in something other than a glass bottle will add different flavors to the wine.
Aging allows for the wine to ferment and produce alcohols. The longer a wine ages, the better for the overall flavor and strength. Wine that is very old will tend to have a very distinct flavor that may be unique, even from bottle to bottle of wine. Inexpensive wines are not aged as long and sometimes you may even over age wines.
Aging wine in bottles allows for a mild and very agreeable flavor for most wines. This allows for all of the available sugars in the wine to be fermented when the wine reaches full maturity. Aging in bottles also allows for pressure to be built up during the fermentation process and creates carbon dioxide. This is what makes the wine fizzle when you pop the cork. Many people enjoy fizzy wines and cannot get enough of it.
Aging in wooden barrels may change this process in many different ways. The wood offers extra complex sugars that the fomenters have available to continue to ferment. This allows for the strength of the wine to increase over time as well as adding a distinct flavor that the wood provides in the wine infusion. Many times wine will be produced in different qualities of wood allowing for variation between wines produced with the same grapes.
Many times, different additives or ingredients may be added to change the flavor or consistency of the wine over time. When adding oils to the wine or infusing flavorings, the flavor and quality of the wine can be drastically changed. Even small changes to the wine may make the wine more favorable between consumers.

The world loves wine. Wine producers have been producing wine the same way for centuries. Sometimes a little change can alter the history of wine producing and can change the classification of wine.
