They bumped up the tax on some booze, like Port. We used to get a flagon of port from West Auckland vineyards for $2...75 cent for a bottle, but who'd buy a bottle when a flagon was only 2 bucks. Even early this century I was droping into one of the last Daly vineyards and getting a flagon of Port, and another of Sauternes for a good price. Now Sauterne has disappeared, and a bottle of Port costs as much as a bottle of the hard stuff.
