2ds agoBack-ups at shipping ports have caused a season of
shortages for plenty of holiday must-haves like toys and food and now, the latest issue could be with
alcohol.
Liquor store owners say
they've been receiving fewer shipments of liquor, wine and beer.
New data shows 11% of
alcoholic beverages have been sold out in stores nationwide since the end of
November.
But the shortages don't stop
at the drinks themselves. "There's a shortage in glass, there's a shortage in cork, there's a
shortage in all materials necessary for bottling," says Aaron Warren, a
liquor store owner.
Liquor store owners also say the shortage has forced
them to raise prices by about $1 to $2 per bottle.
