Yes this is true, labels are largely an opportunity to cash in. Although there are some things like fine wine where if you pay considerably more, you get a very different experience.
As Oggbashan says, if you know about sherry you can get a really delicious refreshing drink but most people think it's a sickly sweet unfashionable tipple for grannies. (I was thinking about doing a post on cheeses, actually! or maybe you'd like to give it a go? And one on sherry, perhaps mentioning the hilarious madeira too - Have some madeira, m'dear.)
If you wrote a high school story set at the time of TE999's daughter's era, and dressed the kids in Chanel jeans, it would be wrong.
And Armani is not what the richest men wear, they wear bespoke tailored suits without labels. If you are super rich then you don't do labels. I got just as tired as PennLady of constantly reading about a man supposed to have money coming out of his nose and style so cool it was practically frozen - who was wearing Armani. I decided it would be fun to do some blogposts giving a bit of information out so people could get these details right if they like writing and reading about that kind of thing. But if you don't like that kind of thing - don't read the blogposts!
