If that is really the case, they should consider investing in creating a separate brand / line of their wines which are released only through more controlled channels - even if the only such channel for now will be their vineyard wine bars. But the question that begs to be asked is - why don't imported wines suffer the same or worse fate at the hands of the Customs department?
