Montclair benefited from previously being classed as a fruit juice, same as cider, so loads of money was made by wholesalers on the jacked-up prices they charged. The new tax regimen has correctly aligned these two tipples with being alcoholic beverages and taxed accordingly. If the wholesalers decide to pass the new tax increases 100% to retailers and consumers, it could be the end of boxed 'wine' and cider in LOS.

Almost there..............it was classed as a fruit wine, thereby attracting lower tax.

749 baht. That's 300 baht more than they used to be! I thought an increase of 100 baht to 530 baht was bad enough. You sure you are talking the 2 litre bottle?

Absolutely, 3 different shops, I even checked the bar code against the price shown on the shelf, thinking it was a mistake, but they matched . I think the other brands will sell out soon as people stock up.

Every time I have a glass of Mont Clair wine, I ask myself, if you'd been sat on a dock, then inside a steel container, and then on a back of a truck in Thailand for several months, in temperatures up to 40 degrees, what would you taste like.
