This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Sorry...
But the price of the item on the shelf is an invitation to treat and does not consititute a binding contract.
So the shop does NOT have to sell to you at the price on the shelf, but may choose to do so if it wishes to foster goodwill with the customer.
What you ought to take from this, is that they didn't not value your custom enough to sell you that wine at that price, until you caused such
a bloody nuisance that it was cheaper just to sell it to you so you'd fuck off.
