Increase In Wine Tax Would Hurt Poor Man Solons Told
MADISON Lawmakers heard opposition to a wine tax increase arguing it harms the poor who drink wine or beer. Testimony from Wendelin Kraft Milwaukee of the Wisconsin Tavern Keepers Assn and A O Haws Milwaukee of Howdin Distilled Products cited credit limits and bottle pricing. Charles W Sand Milwaukee for the Wisconsin Wine and Spirits Institute said industry would accept higher taxes with credit regulation.

Richard M Rice Milwaukee for the California Wine Institute noted wine receives little of spirits spending and may reduce consumption.
