Indeed, several new wines aimed at women border on the insulting. Seduction, a $28 bottle by the Napa Valley's O'Brien Family Vineyard, comes wrapped in a little gauzy sheath as if it were out of Victoria's Secret, with label copy that reads as if it were from a romance novel: "voluptuous, with sensual flavours and a velvet kiss."

Its customized Boeing 757s have just 48 "suites," including lie-flat bed seats.
