I mean there's no way I am getting in the way of a bit this good but I always figured actually managing and running a vineyard in a society that could replicate a near infinate number of bottles of the very best wine ever made perfect to a subatomic level was a quaint hobby, like those people nowdays who have a backyard forge and make stuff.
Picard and his family run it but probably because there's no decent reason to take it from them. Anyone who wanted it could find fertile land likely even better for grapes than the vinyard somewhere in the federation. Sure the landscape is beautiful but if that's what you want you could go to one of the pleasure planets where there's so much amazing natural beauty that you don't even really need the atmospheric aphrodisiacs.
I always saw the vinyard as more of a harmless eccentricity, like how Sisco's dad is a chef even though replicators are a thing.
I'm not counting Picard as a show by the way cos that was just weird.
“Oh, this land? This prime real estate on the capital world? You misunderstand, it’s just a hobby! that I have field hands and a giant manor is uh... coincidence!?” throws smoke bomb, runs away
Picard starts promising but it just completely vanishes up its own arse whilst simeltaniously turning into a hack and slash action packed drama. It doesn't work really.

I’m actually starting Picard now, I don’t really know what’s happening.
