I think the wine price needs to seriously be changed for market cost, as 7 dollars wont even cover a bottle of sutter home or yellow tail 750ml, let alone a midrange quality, you are looking at a shelf of likely 14.99 for a mid tier wine for a cab,but a pinot its hard to find a decent bottle for under 20 due to overall cost of production of pinot being higher as it has a much thinner skin than a cab or zin and is much more susceptible to inclimate weather damage leaving a worse overall yield
