Picard'a vineyard has been in the family for generations as seen in TNG when he visits his brother.

But the world went through a terrible fate in between (where we are now) and the post-scarcity world they live in now.

See any episode where the Q is involved. Literally the first episode of TNG covers how barbaric humans were during this period. Putting them on trial. Living in domes because the atmosphere is toxic is definitely post- apocalyptical...

Q's argument is that humanity is and always has been equally barbaric, an argument which he supports by showing troops from both WWIII and WWII.

And talking about plain brutality, I think WWI might've been even worse, especially for some of the battles.

Tldr define "apocalypse"

Edit but also yeah I know it's been in the family for centuries. That's kinda my point.? If there's still inheritance and exceedingly rich people, then... eh. Well there's a reason we don't get a lot of stories from modern day earth.
