I agree, Dan. Raise the price. A 3.5% increase on a $20 bottle of wine raises the price to $20.70; a $40 bottle of wine goes up to $41.40 . It seems to me to be either a "feel good" change; tell the employees that they are getting a raise, and price the wine accordingly. If someone likes their product (s) , they will buy it. Just don't go public with the raises and then tell me that I can still drink their wine, as long as I pay a 3.5% surcharge for that privilege.
