@chefbarona3052 1) Is this really the hill that you want to die on?
2) Okay, let's take that three gallons a year. The average bottle costs $14. There are about five bottles to the gallon, so even if that average is right, you are looking at an annual wine budget of $210. That would be like insisting that because some people buy an insane amount of running shoes that it is normal to spend thousands of dollars a year on running shoes.
3) Well, we've already established that her spending far exceeds the cost of the average wine consumer. Miles from Sideways probably didn't drop $1200 on wine for the entire trip.
4) I don't drink Starbucks or cocktails. Then again, I don't use ridiculous comparisons not to make the spending look so ridiculous.
5) I have no desire to be an oenophile, but if Marie Antoinette in Prada is going to do something ridiculous like go off on a massive wine spending spree while refusing to do her actual job and do everything in her power to add to the suffering of the poor, she deserves every bit of mockery she gets. I could get a million dollars tomorrow, and I still wouldn't use it to load up on wine, even "as an investment."
6) You can choose to defend an arrogant person all you want, but at a certain point, you start to sound like some multimillionaire talking about how he/she struggles to live off a six-figure salary.
