Some interesting stuff, but also supermarket wine, over the hill stuff ('93 Pinot Grigio, 05 roses, etc) and lots of liquor:

What is a billionaire doing drinking Dewar's blended scotch? There are some fancy single malts, too, but it just seems so downscale. Interesting, thanks for the link.

I know a multi-millionaire who loves Budweiser and cheap cigars. Not everyone is into the things we are into.

Agreed.

One could go crazy trying to optimize the fineness of every aspect of one's life. Most kings and queens did!
