Looking to buy 97k Marriott points for $600. Can do Venmo/PayPal 🙌

Has anyone done one of those wine bundles with points promotions (i.e. Vinesse Wines) where you get say 6 wines for $6.99 each and 10k miles for an airline (AA in this case)? Good/bad experiences with it? I keep getting emails. Obviously will be lower shelf wines but might as well get some miles vs just buying at my grocery store. Thanks all!
