There's another one that wasn't accounted for:
People who can afford to drink wine every day are more likely to be affluent and also able to afford better healthcare.

That's still $3/L. But ah, yeah, your point still stands. Wine can be REALLY cheap. Though back when I worked retail, I only ever had one guy that was always buying lots of wine. The customers that came in frequently to buy alcohol typically bought 12- or 24-packs of cheap beer, though the homeless would buy 40 oz Olde English 800 or the 24 oz Steel Reserve cans. FWIW, I live in Oregon where hard liquor has to be bought from licensed liquor stores, not grocery stores.
