Try offering a "Two for One" special, adding a wine cork remover with your companies name on it, or a unique looking wine glass with each bottle sold. If you sell through a website try offering free shipping or a box of chocolates from your local chocolate store with the purchase. Anything you can do to keep your price similar to how they were but offer enticements that convince a to be customer that it is a good deal!
