Sorry folks, the excise tax on wine is rising - in New York it is going up 11 cents per gallon while in New Jersey it has gone up 25% on wine and liquor. The good news is the charge is levied by the gallon so your favorite bottle should not go up by more than a few cents, if at all. Of course NYC sales tax also went up so we have a double whammy. Wine Spectator reports some other states have been hit too with this sin tax.
