Dude, this. If they offered those same wines for $3-$5 (which is what some of them are worth, even with a markup) people would purchase them

Instead it’s $10 and barely anyone is buying

There’s a hotel in Chicago that my coworkers from other offices used to stay in when they’d come to town for meetings. The hotel had some of the cheapest minibar prices I’ve ever seen, especially on their bottles of wine. My boss asked them about it and they said they reduced the price and found they started selling such a higher volume that they were bringing in more profits overall.

It really frosts my cookies to pay 8-9 bucks for 4 oz of cheap wine when I can buy the bottle (here in a damn grocery store!) for that price!
