I’ve definitely seen / bought small bottles - it’s more a price factor. I’ll sacrifice a $2 buck chuck for a meal more willingly than a $4 small bottle; this is partly why I’ve used cooking wine.
plus that checkout factor - if Trader Joe’s had self-checkout, then I couldn’t buy any wine there. This is why I won’t get wine at Safeway or Costco, although both places don’t carry anything as cheap as $2 bottles. Actually I don’t even know if 2 buck chuck is even still available :-)
