You’ll Soon Have to Pay More for Many Popular Wines and Spirits in Pennsylvania!
Save those holiday gift cards, because it’s about to get more expensive for some of your favorite wine.
Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board announced a 4% price increase on about 3,550 popular wine and spirit items, sending restaurant owners scrambling to order additional supplies of such popular labels as Ketel One and Captain Morgan before Jan. 15.
Retail customers at the state’s Fine Wines and Good Spirits stores will also see the increase that day. The prices of special-order products, seasonal items, and clearance items will not be affected, the PLCB said.
The increase will tack 80 cents onto that 750ml bottle Fireball that now retails for $18.99, for example. Even those shot-size bottles that retail for 99 cents will rise to $1.03, plus sales tax.
