it's my understanding that many wine makers sell the same exact wine at various price points with different labels, but the liquid inside the bottles is exactly the same
so much of the profitability of businesses is based on information asymmetry being used to dupe their customers, and wine business is no different
That's the alcohol industry in general. There was a point a few years ago where an absurd % (I don't remember specifics but it was very high) of whiskey made was by 1 company in Indiana, MGP. It's all branding and marketing
Yeah if you buy rye whiskey in America and it doesn't say "distilled in [another city]," it was probably made by MGP. Some brands will age it in different barrels but it's all the same stuff.
That's true for some of the bigger vineyards but small local places don't normally do that. Not saying that you can't get over charged as hell at them just they tend to have fixed price points.

But you see, single vineyard cuvees pair better with prescription drugs
I’m sure @Ithorian could confirm this
I find muscle relaxants make a great pairing with just about any vintage.

Which is frustrating because I can't stand their rye but I love rye whiskey. Malted rye whiskey straight up tastes like candy to me, I love it
