Shipping a case of pinot noir from France or chardonnay from Australia for consumption within local distribution distance of west coast vineyards, only to sell all of the bottles at around the same price point? By weight, the products are almost all glass and water

I’m not going to say for certain that it’s all or even most French wine, but at least some is shipped in container-sized plastic bladders to Australia, and bottled upon arrival. I was shocked when I first heard about it, but basically they said it was stupid to pay to ship all that glass.
