Here in Atlanta I've noticed that it's closer to twice retail for < $100 bottles, but it doesn't hold up for the expensive stuff. When my wife and I went to The Abbey here in Atlanta a couple of years ago, a bottle of 1961 Chateau Margaux went for $1,000, as did the 1961 Chateau Lafite-Rothchilds, but it was retailing for around $750 at the time, IIRC. That's a hell of a liability to have that in inventory, so the $250 is probably not even making them very much profit (if any) when you consider what that money could have been doing all that time the bottle was sitting in inventory.
