Inflation and shipping

Our household orders wine online, often from a California-based company.  The other day, the company e-mailed all their customers to give a heads-up on price increases.  Below are the costs associated with the price hikes experienced since 2020, and thus far, it's not showing increases to the costs of growing or processing the actual grapes.  

Warehousing       á 18% 

Staffing                á 15%

Shipping and Materials     á 20%

Trucking                á 25%

Delivery Carriers    á 20%

If vineyards are further impacted by increases in, say, fertilizer or irrigation, the prices will go up some more.
