Buying an $8,000 bottle of anything is for the bragging rights. You know, to pass around at a class reunion or something like that. No half ways sensible person would buy it for the drinking quality. It might be as much as 1% better than the $100/bottle stuff - or not.
Some people might buy it on the greater fool investment plan. You might remember how that works - you plan to sell it later to a greater fool. Sort of like buying a digital image.
One of my neighbours used to buy a number of bottles of Johnny Walker Blue (in the range of $350 - $450 a bottle locally) as Xmas gifts for valued suppliers and customers. Not such great Scotch you say. No worries, you buy it to demonstrate how much you think of the supplier and the customer (and, dare we say it, to show off a bit).

I'll take it over a jug of 0W-16 any day!
Around $10 for a pack of smokes in the United Soviet State of California. They banned all flavors including menthol too. Next they'll ban filters.Chris, you didn't get the prices on those Marlboro's in your pic.
I'd bet they are close to the booze price out there in Cali!
What’s amazing is the advertising practice of odd pricing or sometimes called charm pricing. It’s been around for 100 years. A bottle of bourbon for $8000.00!? Outrageous! That same bottle for $7999.99, lemme take a look at that!
