I always thought of these things as inherited lands or businesses not for profit but a desire to do whatever they're doing. I assume the Picard family has ran and managed this vineyard for generations, and it doesn't generate profit anymore. It just makes wine for the love of it, same with Siskos father's restaurant. I do think it's a bit of a contradiction. But maybe the invention of unlimited energy and FTL made this kind of thing far less important. Anyone could find a place to setup a vineyard with a bit of work.
All fair and logical points, But still despite that certain areas would be more desirable than other, even if you could terraform any piece of land into the perfect vineyard there'd still be a desire for land in Champagne, France as presumably 'authentic champagne' would fetch more latinum at a Ferengi run market
But yeah this is all hypothetical just interesting to wonder how the federation would resolve land disputes(say Jean-Luc retired and wanted to run the vineyard a different way to his brother, would the 'courts' consider they both have an equal family claim to it, would their parents will if any have precedence, would Jean-Luc's decades of services to Starfleet or his brother commitment to the vineyard sway the judge(s) one way or the other)
Star Trek has gold-pressed latinum because replicators and terraformers can't reproduce terroir. It is known.
time to watch The Neutral Zone again. that's not the motivation of future people, nobody on earth gives a shit about space bucks.
But people on i.e. DS9 do, and have the ability to travel back and forth from earth
they organized their society long before the cardassians occupied bajor, let alone the federation administration of DS9
So? things change, my point is some land/property is more valuable than others even in a post scarcity society, thus conflcits will arise over ownership/usghe and society will need a way to resolve them
