Wine is one of the only beverages that improves with age, which means there's a fun collecting and trying to wait aspect. There's also wine in virtually every price point, so you never really grow out of it. I think the conspicuous consumption point is only partially valid, since brand recognition is much more limited compared to say, scotch. There are tons of great, expensive wines that won't get you clout, that people buy because they're great wines.

I've got 3 bottles of 2001 D'Yquem on the way, will make a thread when I decide to open one.
