Here in Pennsylvania we still pay a 33% emergency tax on wine and liquor. The emergency for which this was imposed was the cleanup after the Pittsburgh flood of... (wait for it)... 1933!

33% !!! for an emergency from 1933... (is that how they chose the rate ?) that's... well, i was going to say "unbeleivable" but sadly i don't think that's quite accurate... outrageous might be closer... you should learn to make your own wine.
