There is a lot of work and craft that goes into the 20 euro bottle - especially when it comes from a small producer. It takes years to mature, there is uncertainty in the harvest, good barrels, tanks, cork, etc are expensive, lot's of knowledge and experience are required. A high-quality natural cork alone can cost 1.50$. For 2 dollars you get industrial mass production. Taste-wise it might be fine for some, but it is unlikely to be sustainable and you definitely miss the fun and artisanal part of wine. It's similar to small local organic farming vs. industrial farming for a more difficult to produce product.
