It's a way of them defending their local market and they hide behind this fact with the excuse that it's defending their cultural heritage. If they didn't do this people might start drinking something else instead of wine or at least reduce their consumption.

Yup. But I don't think it's the governments job to find "excuses" (as you called them) for NOT having an extra tax on something. Rather they seem to be very busy finding excuses FOR putting all kinds of ridiculous taxes in place.

I find it amazing that wine is tax free. And quite frankly I find that the culture around wine (ie. using it as a beverage with food instead of using it to get shitfaced in the park) is pretty strong in those countries. Wine is consumed like any other beverage, a glass here and there with food etc.

It's funny that you pointed that out. Wine is not normally used to get piss drunk, it was in the past not so much now people will use beer and shots for that now.
 
I don't think wine is tax free in this state. Everything is taxed here. Even grocery store food. We can not excape it, it is simply a fact of life. It is fun to go to areas that have no sales tax. I try to make up for all the times I have paid taxes.

I didn't know there were places like that. I know that you have duty free but sometimes the prices of the products are more expensive than if they were taxed.
 
In the US, the states of Delaware and NH have no tax. They are fun to shop in for that reason. There may be others, but those are the two I know of. I am really not sure about any other state.
 
I've never heard of this company. Are they located in the United States or at a specific market? This is something I might need to keep an eye out for because I'm always seeking out new alcohol to try. I'll ask around at our local Bevmo to see if they carry this. :)

Interesting, I didn't know that there were American states that didn't have sales tax. So how do they get their taxes? Do they have a high income tax?
