The beer and canned cocktails industries battle over tax codes
The alcohol industry scored a huge win in 2017 and again in 2019 with the passing of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act of 2019. As the expiration of these cuts approaches in 2025, much of the battle between craft beer and canned cocktails and seltzers will take place in congressional chambers, as opposed to grocery store shelves.
Spirits set to overtake wine as global drinking habits change
More cases of spirits such as vodka and whisky than of wine are set to be sold globally, a report from the World Spirits Alliance predicted on Wednesday, as drinking preferences have shifted.
The report, whose predictions came from Oxford Economics and alcohol market research firm IWSR, said 2.67 billion cases of spirits were sold in 2022, almost as many as the 2.8 billion cases of wine sold that year. “Should current trends in both categories continue, spirits volumes will soon surpass those of wine,” it said.

Having a Cash Price and a Card Price is
A Win-Win! (for you and customers)
How Much Did YOU LOSE Last Month in Credit Card Fees by NOT Being on Dual Pricing?
$3,000? $5,000? $10,000?
‘Why is there a different price for using my card now?’
“We’re rolling out some new pricing strategies that in the end will allow us to be more competitive on National Brands and offer lower prices in general, along with Loyalty savings. An added bonus is that those that need to save every day, on every item, can do so with Cash. It’s actually really exciting. It’s not something you’re going to want to miss!”
With Dual Pricing, customers get an additional way to save EVERY day, not just on “Sr. Tuesday”, “Wine Wednesday”, etc… “Save w/ Cash 7 days a week”.
Competitors not doing Dual Pricing do not have pricing flexibility.
What would happen if you could…
- Lower the regular price of Tito’s by $1 a bottle, for example
- Avoid the next price increases that the store down the street can’t
