A wine can be described as good quality when but shows balance between acidity and fruit. This is determined in the aromas, on the palate and in the finish. A win may however be said to be of good quality merely by its adherence to typicity.
Much more to it than just individual preferences. Although those impact buying habits so naturally impact styles produced.

Well yes and no. A wine produced to be oxidized before bottling will change far less over time after opening. So absolute control of the changes caused by the interaction of components in the wine with components of the environment no, but a very controlled change at a defined pace to quite reasonably expected new state yes.
