How Your Alcohol Gets to You – Not a Short Route

I’ve written about the crazy way that alcohol in general makes its way from the brewery/distillery/winery to your glass. It’s amazing that we’re collectively able to consume, much less afford any of our embibements. For those of us who think we have bargain priced drinks available to us, imagine how much lower the prices would be without the multiple levels of profits, taxation, and shipping charges that are heaped on every bottle we pour.   

DrinkSpirits has done a terrific job explaining the morass that is our alcohol distribution network. It’s a pretty long post but well worth the read and will give you a new appreciation for the cost of a pour. Read it here.
