They (Trader Joe's) are not selling this wine at a loss.
In spite of the present wine glut in California, the only way they can do this is to use a bulk wine made from Central Valley grapes (think Factory Farm and hot, dry summers) worth about $1.50 per case of the finished Two-Buck Chuck.
I've heard from another winemaker that oak sawdust is used to impart flavor.
