The boxplot shows that Vineyard C has the highest median, upper quartile, and maximum case price, indicating that their wines are generally more expensive compared to Vineyards A and B. Moreover, the boxplot also shows that Vineyard C has the smallest spread, which means that their prices are more consistent and less variable. Therefore, the best choice is B - Vineyard C, because it has the highest average price and the smallest spread.
