Ah, a semantic argument.
OK, nice work. You're much cleverer than me.

Arguing about the value of a product then quoting a figure that is wrong is more than just semantics.

It's not wrong
he's separated the "cost of the actual drunk product" which varies with quality and the "cost of everything else associated with conveying that prodcut to a drinker's gob" which, of course, doesn't particularly. He's just called it bottling costs to simplify, and you are just trying to win through semantics.

Most unlike him to not understand what he's banging on about.

Those fixed costs are SIGNIFICANTLY different by buying cases of 12, paying delivery seperatly and getting it from a specialist wine club.
To the point that him saying that they account for £3 of the £6.99 bottle is meaningless.

You mean distribution, unpacking from the cases of 6 or 12 that they are shipped in, and stacking on a shelf?
OK, I'll concede that extra penny per bottle.

And the cost of the possibly hundreds of local sites rather than one or two national warehouses.
The staffing costs?
It's the difference between amazon and your local bookshops.

I think you might be blobbing.
Calm down, eh, petal?

You just don't understand anything.

Haha, yes, sweetheart.
This definitely looks like another victory for Team Chompy, here.

If Amazon only sold books.
In the same way that Tesco only sells wine. Oh, wait.
