Just curious...

... how does an expensive bottle of wine damage the planet more than an inexpensive one? The price of a wine depends on the location of the vinyard, the grapes used, the skill of the winemaker, and the reputation of the wine. None of those things require more resources of the planet to make an expensive wine versus a cheap one. In fact, the odds are that a cheap wine is more likely to involve chemicals for the vinyard and a more industrial setting for processing.

It is hardly the same as a rich person jetting around the world in their private plane using 200 or 300 gallons of jet fuel per hour.
