Oh, dear. Imagine this: a mix of a nice wine bar, an NYC rush hour subway, MoMA worthy booth design, “country club”-like (all overdressed) winery owners, plus some obscene marketing budgets (up to $1/2 mil.) of the “big boys” booths, etc., etc., etc. Is this “wine business” the same thing as “wine”? I dunno, folks.
