The compounds are often super complicated though. We can run fancy wines, bourbons and Coca Cola through a mass spectrometer and see exactly what's in it... but we can't currently just create those things. I would assume something being "natural" vs not would influence consumers on wines but not on Coca Cola. If it could be done cheaply in a fully synthetic I would assume they would be the first to do it.
