Wine prices are expected to rise quite a bit for a number of reasons. Joining problems in the supply chain, fires and weather impact is the price of glass.
Those producers relying on imported glass are experiencing high demand and short supply. Imported glass accounts for about 25 to 30 percent of the food and beverage industry — it’s not just wine that is impacted. One example is a case of empty bottles has gone from $10 to $22.
I guess we can call this a bottleneck problem.
