Cult wineries are made more through the winemaker than the wine.
One of the most famous cult wines is Hundred Acre.
Jason Woodbridge is the winemaker and owner of the Hundred Acre portfolio.
Jason's personality is considered "rogue and unyielding". This is an unusual trait in winemaking. Jason is also a natural in marketing, and with this refreshing mix of disciplines he was able to successfully attract the interest of Robert Parker and Wine Advocate.
On top of that, his winemaking ability is remarkable. The latest 2008 vintage of Ark Cabernet Sauvignon received 99 points from Robert Parker. The same Ark in 2007 got a perfect score. Right now all Hundred Acre labels are sold out on retail.
The wine may have made Hundred Acre a winner, but Jason Woodbridge made Hundred Acre a cult.

There are some parallels between the Bacchic cult and Catholicism, such as the ritual of wine consumption and the idea of communal celebration. However, the Bacchic cult focused on the worship of the god Bacchus (Dionysus), with emphasis on ecstasy and wild behavior, while Catholicism centers on the worship of the Christian God and places importance on morality and obedience. Overall, the Bacchic Cult and Catholicism are different in their beliefs and practices.
To become a wine representative, you first have to learn all that you can about wine. Attend wine tasting, visit vineyards, take a class, and read all that you can about wine. You will also need a driver's license, and the ability to lift crates, and boxes of wine. Many wine representative jobs require that you have experience being a wine representative in a restaurant, or working as a bartender. Once you have done all of the above, you will be ready to apply for the job.
I suppose technically it never stops being a cult. However when the sect or group in question become relatively large they are generally accepted into the mainstream. But there are always those who will continue to label them as cults. I Cr 13:8a
Saint Nicholas is not unpopular. However, the cult of the saints as a whole does not have the popularity that it once had.
Manson would be the first to deny he was the leader of a cult. It sounded much cozier as 'The Family'. But it was without a doubt a cult. His followers were given the standard cult initiation. They were stripped of their worldly possessions, separated from the real world including their families, preached at 24/7, until they could barely think for themselves. All of this is classic brainwashing techniques.
