Iowa Liquor Price Hike Aims to Boost State Revenue
Iowa plans an average eight to eleven cent rise per fifth and four to six cents per pint starting July 1 to fund the state budget. Wines jump two cents per bottle with higher costs for expensive varieties. The move, approved by the Iowa Liquor Control Commission, could push liquor revenue above last year’s record of 43 million dollars. The plan also reduces staff and hours across about 140 stores and 12 central office positions to meet a smaller administration budget.
