First, you find some marginal wine producer, who makes 2-star wine (the $7 a bottle stuff).
You contract with the guy....to deliver 100,000 bottles with no label.
Second, you buddy-up with a politician who needs cash flow.
Third, you get a fake-but-nice label situation....with a nifty wine 'brand-name' (like the phrase Hocus-Pocus, Elixir of Demons, or Booby-Lady).
Four, you let supporters know the wine is connected to the politician.
Five, you sell the wine for $40 a bottle....taking a $13 cut yourself....giving the politician $20.
You settle with the IRS folks, and simply keep quiet.

A variation is re-packaging cake mix as an essential supplement for aspiring body-builders.
.
In California, Sacramento body-builder Bobby Holmes sold 'protein powder' that was just cake batter.
Apparently, profits were astronomical.
.
The procedure:
Transfer the contents of generic $2 cake mix into a fancy container, slap a fancy label on it, market it as the next best to the chronically-undernourished.
Sell it for $70.
.
Apparently, Mister Holmes is a brown.
His website condemns the entirely undeserved criticism as RACIALIST.
