Yeah, the US in general usually prioritizes price over quality, for almost everything. You can get quality, but the default is low quality and cheap. That's for just about everything, from alcohol, to furnature, and everything in between. Americans are generally cheap bastards. It sucks.

With how large the US is though, yeah, we also have some of the highest quality of a lot of things if you know what you're looking for. Like you said though, it isn't the default.

Yep, the default is low quality but there is a greater range of everything at all quality levels than anywhere else due to the size of the market.

The EU opens most of Europe to a single market too, but it's not as frictionless to order, for instance, German soda from Finland. Most companies focus on their local national market.

In the USA, there are regional favourites and differences but it's usually easier to order them and buy them due to the market being one for longer.
