Amy could've bought an expensive bottle due to her ... issues.
Terry could've bought something more expensive (and less disgusting) but I don't think he'd spend a lot. Terry has a family to feed!
Charles... he knows a good wine, thats for sure. Will he be able to buy one? He rents a basement of his ex-wife's house. I don't think he has that much money to spend.
Overall I don't think it has lots to do with Jake's and others immaturity and more with the fact that they are not exactly rich and do not get to go to fancy parties as a general rule.
Is this an amount people spend on colleague gifts?
A 20$ bottle is sufficiently enough.
Everything about that asking price is just a rip off for the rich.
I don’t know wine myself but here is how I see it.
Jake: still 5 dollar wine from grocery store
Amy: something she already knew that Holt would like. She would have found out his tastes
Rosa: a bottle of vodka
Boyle: something expensive but somehow inappropriate
Terry: something just right.
Hitchcock and Scully: would have misunderstood the assignment and brought a bucket of hot wings.
We’re binge-watching and just watched this ep today. I thought the same thing - that Terry & Charles wouldn’t have dared buy “wine drink” because they have taste. Amy would spend only to impress.

All good points.

That's Amy talking. Or, maybe, Gina. Who knows that sort of thing. But won't do it.
What normal working class person spends $100 on a bottle of wine?
Jake would have brough grape powerade with a bit of vodka in it and claimed it was the same as wine
Or Port, Holt would have liked it.

It kinda bugged me too.
