Rather than focusing on the legal aspect, it kinda shines a light on how much of the rest of the benefits are just fluff. Sure a 100 dollar wine is often better than a 10 dollar bottle, but it’s not 90 percent better (aka 90 dollars)
I read (on FT?) of an incident where a group of peoplle bought an expensive bottle of wine, but somehow that bottle got switched with the (cheap wine) purchased by diners at another table...initially neither table noticed that anything was wrong.
