In a phrase like inferior wine the meaning is ‘inadequate’ rather than ‘less good’. In the language of marketing, and sometimes in general social contexts, superior is used as a kind of blind or absolute comparative (= above the average in quality) ( a superior bungalow; made of superior leather ; a very superior box of chocolates ) --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:17, 24 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
