. . . however, today after filling up I did grocery shopping.
Once a week I buy three 750ml bottles of the cheapest white wine I can find -- Pinot Grigio, Chardonay, whatever -- usually pay $10.99 a bottle.
Today every bottle of my usual was $14.65 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$4.09/gal for regular gas is one thing but wine is something else entirely!!! I'm ready to take to the streets -- the National Mall in DC sounds like a good place --I'll go unarmed this time -- who's with me? Look for the old, white-haired almost-bald guy on the Mall across from the White House, sipping cheap wine. (NO BOONE'S FARM -- I do have a little pride,)

I love wine, fresh fruit/veg and coffee.
Between tariffs, ICE deporting workers, and corporate greed, they fuck me all day every day.
I couldn't hate him, his corrupt family, his greedy backers and every fucker who still voted for him more.

Sorry about the vin de table. If you're paying $14/bottle, go to Costco or Total Wine and get something good at the same price.

(76,706 posts)I buy wine for cooking.
I'd estimate 35 or 40 cents more for the size bottles I get.
You're seeing 30 percent, while we're seeing 35 cents!
We're not in wine country so I should be seeing what you are.
I wonder why not.

(64,377 posts)Possibly next week, we'll see the financial inflationary impact of the shortages across many products from groceries to fertilizer then everything else.
Trump either doesn't understand, or isn't willing to deal with the reality that oil pricing is based on worldwide economics. We won't have shortages here if we are willing to pay a premium for oil & gas, even if it is produced here. Why would ExxonMobil sell us an $80 barrel when it can get 25% more on the world market?
