The answer, I suspect, is simply just because you can, and since most of us who love wine are driven by curiosity (and I'm guessing or you wouldn't be reading a wine column if you weren't), the opportunity is possibly too good to resist.
I imagine the strategy is to promote a more adventurous mentality among customers, not least because curious wine drinkers often end up spending more given that it's essentially their hobby.
