RE: Seems to be a trend...

Justification. I have no idea what the wine costs you, but as prices creep higher I think a winery is trying to justify the purchase price.

The other thing in play is that most glass is now made in China so the cost to the winery is reasonably cheap compared to what it used to be if the bottles were being made in France.

Think of the extra materials to make that bottle, then the oil used to ship it from China to a WA or OR port, and trucking it to Eastern Wa, and then to you. Its really ridiculous.
