  1. Thanks everyone (bluefish, Indyspirits, glisade) for letting me know about the markups and margins. So, basically the $24 I stated was a very common local Vodka. In order for a distillery to be profitable in a 3-tier system with 30% margin (42.86% markup) on distributor and wholesaler, you should be definitely produce well below $11.75. Based on your experiences in different states, what is the reasonable cost of vodka produced per bottle (750 ml), including all the fixed and operating costs? Costs include property rental, equipment purchase with a 5-year service life, equipment operating maintenance, ingredients (grains, fruits, water, yeast, etc.), energy costs (electricity, natural gas, etc), TABC tax, all other costs. Please kindly state your assumption of what you're including and what you are not including. Thanks and best regards,
  2. ADI forum experts, I would appreciate if you can help me with this. Assume that the shelf price of a bottle of vodka in a Texas wholesaler like spec's (750 ml) is $24 before sales tax. Based on different sources and some old comments in this forum I got the impression that markups by the distributor and wholesaler will almost double the price of the bottle when it leaves the distillery. Meaning that the distiller, even including the TABC tax should produce the vodka with a cost of below $12 in order to be at least profitable. Any feedback on this especially with states like TX with 3-tier system would be highly appreciated. By the way, is there any update on reducing the TABC tax on small-scale distilleries? thanks and best regards, Hayden Houston, TX
