They aren’t phony it seems and are basically indistinguishable from the mined ones. . . The markets for diamonds and “fine” wine are the two phoniest markets known to man and both deserve to be demolished by technology.

Both are created markets appealing to shallowness, snobbery and fools and their money.

You have to contrive a significant difference between good box wine and expensive stuff. Guess that makes me some kind of rube.

You said a mouthful.

Your Next Glass of Wine Might Be a Fake — And You’ll Love It.

Next step: sexbots?

You know, "wine, women & song" --> well, with artificial wine and artificial women, who needs real diamonds, right?

Just leave in the fridge for a few weeks to age it and it will taste like fine wine
