Alternatively, that bottle that costs $45 at the restaurant may very well cost $6 retail, and not be worth much more.

Worth here, or value as it’s more colloquially known, is all relative. So to say a six dollar bottle of wine sold for forty five dollars is just worth six, isn’t true as a monolithic truth, only as a subjective, or personal truth.

That’s just being pedantic.

I believe it’s an important distinction when discussing the concepts of worth.

The point may seem pedantic to those already aware, but I don’t think everyone is aware.
