There is a liquor store in NJ that has half-bottles of an outstanding Malbec for $5.99. On Black Friday it was half-price. Surely an organization with UA's buying power can source decent small-format wine bottles. They can even charge more (that should get Smilesack smiling).
5.99 in NJ? That's a rip off. They should just get 2 buck chuck from Trader Joe's if they want to cheap out.
