Dry Point Distillers, Las Cruces, Tex., has been dealing with supply shortages since last year, owner Chris Schaefer said. Normally it takes about six to 10 days to get a shipment of bottles.
“They just sent me a notice as of October 1 of this year, all shipments of glass will have an extra 10 percent fee,” he told KTSM-TV, “Ten percent when I’m ordering $7,000 worth of bottles is kind of a lot.”
“We’ve been absorbing some of these hits,” he said, “community has been behind us for more than four years and we want to keep that bottle of vodka at $18.”
