A few people in comments say things like "mate, seeing you makes me reach for bottle", as the deal includes a bottle of Shiraz allegedly worth $80.
Seeing a give away deal like this made me suspect it must be owned by a billionaire who cares more about influence than making money. And now that I look, yes it changed hands in 2024 and is now owned by the same guy, one Sir Paul Marshall, who is also the money behind GB News. (Seems he might not be a billionaire, but he's close.)
His wiki entry indicates he's a conservative Christian with lots of deep thoughts about its intersection with economics. Not quite as oddball as Peter Thiel perhaps, but still, people who get carried away fretting about the Enlightenment tend to be a worry.
