There are whole lot of items that is bought on wholesale basis and packed and sold in retail basis. Fruit juice, wine, beer, perfumes, shampoos, etc are bought in big lots (may be barrels of 1 ton capacity) and must be packed into smaller packs of 1 OZ - 128 OZ bottles. They typically carry the labels like Made in USA with materials from Italy, Mexico, China, etc.
May be its more economical to trade this way in some cases. This practice will continue forever.
