Claim 1: “Which 1970s wine sold two bottles every three seconds in its heyday? That’s a whopping 23 million …”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence includes information about 1970s wines (Judgment of Paris, Stag's Leap) and general wine types, none of the provided sources mention a specific wine selling 'two bottles every three seconds' or a total of '23 million'. The search results are too general to verify this specific statistic.

Claim 2: “People aren't ordering a bottle of wine for the table the way they used to, according to a new report.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result specifically mentions that red wine sales are 'tanking' at San Francisco restaurants and that Acquerello has reported a significant decline. However, the other two search results are irrelevant (English lessons and a story about an expensive bottle), meaning there is only one source reporting this trend.

Claim 3: “Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm that Trump stated economic hardship/pain was not a consideration or factor in his approach to the war in Iran. The evidence explicitly mentions his 'gilded indifference' and that economic pain 'did not factor into his negotiations'.
