Default "Conventional wisdom in the premium wine industry has held that brands should never lower their suggested retail prices."

What is "premium" wine?

Just like cars.

There are some really bad cars, the majority are average and quite a few
good ones, but there is no relation of price/vs quality.

Same in wines.

Like BMW, Mercedes Benz, Hummers and Jaguars, some of the worst cars in the
world, and the most expensive.

These are sold to liberals and latte' drinkers who work for the state or
fed government and have so much disposable money and guarunteed jobs and
benefits they can afford to do no research and buy expensive shit.

Wine is the same. Expensive crappy wine sold to the poser and efite
elitist dumbasses of the Hollywood/New York cocktail circuit of crooks,
thieves, politicians, actors, con artists and government workers.

The average Lindemans or Jacobs creek wine is far better than many
expensive wines, and much cheaper.

A Jacobs Creek Reserve Red at $17 a bottle is FAR superior to any foofoo
liberal shit wine for posers at $70 a bottle.

Just like those crappy BMW and Audi shit cars, it's all in the marketing.
If you can't sell your average to badly made crappy cars, raise the prices
and spend more on your advertising budget than quality control and WALLA!
You can sell them to the ignorati who have too much undeserved money to
spend.
