""Aggregate market demands" are capitalism, where wine is a status symbol and "good" wine generally refers to price"

No - what I meant by 'aggregate market demand' was really just 'average price / perception of value' - and 'good' does not refer to 'price' - good wine literally is better.

I am not equating value and profit. I am equating value and price.

Some goods are generally better than others (i.e. most people will think one is better than the other) and require the same labour - this is my point - and it's unrelated to scarcity.
