well if you don’t like the waste mitigation policies then you can just leave, it’s a free market, companies that can’t stay competitive in the economic conditions can just collapse

Ha ha. :) the original bottle of wine you purchased for $20 did cost roughly something less than $2 to produce and ship.
The customer is being ripped off ant both ends. This is capitalism unchecked.

You don’t think there is competition in the wine industry? The markup on most food and beverage products from the farm to the consumer is similar and is simply a reflection on how value-adding works in the economy.

No, the owners of all of the 1000’s of small wine making companies in Australia are all richer than weather girls.
