Sure, there are thousands of different $20 bottles, but they barely taste unique. It's like cheap coffee. Sure, there might be minute differences between the hundreds of cheap brands but they are barely discernible

That's definitely not true. I occasionally buy 5-6 random 8-20e wine bottles from the local supermarket and they typically vary massively. Even when I order my favourites trying others listed as similar all taste very different to me.
Maybe 50 years ago you couldn't get a cheap good wine without doing it one of five ways but modern logistics allow winemakers to make good wine cheaply with a wide variety of different products and twists.
