Both are, well..... wine.

I grew up in a huge MJ corridor, and got used to seeing absurd markups, and cachet, and branding, being added to a product. Same product, different marketing. I saw lots of hilarious sales, though, where "dirt weed" could be sold at a huge range of prices, because people like brands, and marketing. Sell the same damn buds, from the same damn plant, as "dirtweed" and "primo organicsticky 2011 first-cut vintage", and get 100 fold price change.

Kind of sad, really, but that's part of the game.
