"Wine caves" is a strong meme for Current Day, both for the socialist-leaning left in earnest and their opposition in satire, because it so clearly illustrates that the perceived enemy is not necessarily power, but luxury itself.

They didn't buy the wine; the event was hosted by a family who owns a winery. They'd have paid no more or less for it, regardless of their disposable income, if it'd been a bottle valued at $9 or $9,000.
Admittedly, political fundraisers are expensive to attend. Because, you know, they're fundraisers. Donors attend. Few people have the disposable income to do so. I guarantee you that I cannot afford to be in the presence of any of these candidates at a fundraiser, Warren included

That's what I'm saying. The fact that it was hosted at a place that sells bottles that expensive, or has Swarovski Crystal chandeliers. It say something about the campaign and the optics of hosting a fundraiser there.

"$900 bottles of wine" is just shorthand. I've been to wine caves like this in Napa. I wasn't hanging out with poor people.
