How is overly cheap wine made?

I’m currently drinking a wine that costs 3 usd/1.5l bottle. I was wondering how do they manage to sell these at such a low price? What are they made out of?

When I was in a small hilltown in Tuscany there was a tap in a wall where you could get a liter of wine for less than a euro. And it was better wine than most bottles I have drunk in the US.

It was partially paid for by the government, but mostly grapes are not that expensive to grow in a place where they have been grown for millennia. Packaging and shipping and marketing it to a city would multiply the cost 20 fold, but selling it to your neighbor from a big tub is cheap.
