brommers Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 There will be minimal reductions in booze prices because the increase in minimum wages will add to operating costs. So says my local bar owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the import tax reduced to zero baht, the price of Chang will cost the same as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coincidence... the bottle of red plonk I got from my local distributor cost exactly that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew65 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 What's do say that the tax cut will be passed on to the consumer (end user)? Probably be 'absorbed' by the manufacturer or vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornell Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Some years ago 5 litre boxes of wine suddenly disappeared from supermarket shelves without warning. Almost a year later, wine boxes reappeared as 3 litre ones at 50% more than the price of the 5 litre ones. Is the same thing happening to Bells whisky I wonder. For the past month or so it has become almost impossible to buy at the usual outlets and today I bought the last three bottles hidden on the top shelf of a big Lotus supermarket as a staff member said; "not know they were here; no have any more!" A related question re this thread is when or if the recently announced reduction in tax on imported wine will be passed on to the consumer. It has been a few months now since it was reported and I certainly haven't seen any change in wine prices. I know TIT but.......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) So it's a little cheaper but you still can't (officially) get a drink in the afternoon. Stock price manipulation is all part of the game with long shelf life items. It is how the rich get richer.

DonniePeverley Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Unfortunately it seems the reduction hasn't yet been passed onto the consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
