Why do some wine bottles have weaved wire around them?!
But historically it was to guarantee that the wine in the bottle is what left the winery; because you must break the wire to open the bottle someone couldn't remove the cork, drink the wine, and top it up with some cheapo plonk and replace the cork.
Obviously only the best and most expensive wine would do this, so nowadays by keeping the wires on the bottle it sends out the message that it is a special wine.
The wires are usually seen on Spanish wines, and there is a brand that uses a similar historical protection by sewing the bottle into sackcloth
Answers: Nowadays its just marketing -- makes the wine look different and interesting.

Mostly the bubbly ones do. Thats in case they explode.
The wire will keep the cork from hitting someone in the face or eyes.
