Strictly speaking, no. It's a trade for a loss. ("Discount" my hat!) However, if you have uses for EPIC quantities of wine, this can be profitable in later stages of a loop:

From a comment on the discount's page:"-Transfer of 7.5 Echoes of Romantic currency into Wine currency.  To borrow better words than mine, ,that's a big dump of 1879, if not a profitable one.  Doing this seven times would cost seven turns and 3.5 Echoes. Bad deal, right?  Acquire 100 1879 by simpler means; when is next convenient with the Portly Sommelier, exchange 5000 1879 for the '44 at a 10 Echo markup.  6.5 echoes up, maybe nine turns in.  So far so good, still not huge profits but if we repeat this again or come by a 25th bottle of the '44, a simple item conversion will yield two Echoes in stories and, in th event of a critical hit - er, rare success, a whole Searing Enigma. The subsequent trade of these cellars is reasonably profitable in very narrowly useful currencies, so Cellars is a fine point to cash out in the wine trade once you've gotten certain other tasks out of the way."
