Boozeflation

  1. The retail price of 750 mL of Everclear broke critical resistance at $16.75 over the weekend. Fortunately, the cost of 1L of barely palatable municipal water to make vodka from it was stable at .06 cents. Hard times for hard liquor.

    not sure what Everclear is but 750ml of Fris(very good vodka from denmark)at our store is on sale till middle of the may @ $9.99(regular price 14.99). i see no inflation in this particular area for at least a decade. price of booze at restaurants is a different story.

    any store..(assuming that we are talking about regular $6-$20red\white wine,not some rare vintage)due to increased competition. chile and australia wines for example. the only prices that are going up SLIGHTLY is for wine from france,italy and spain. probably due to weak dollar
     
  10. Both countries have excess supply that is pressuring the market. :(
