Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Like many other commodities, glass jars are getting harder to come by because of the U.S. supply chain crunch, and the liquor industry is feeling the pressure just two days ahead of Thanksgiving.
That has wine and spirit makers scrambling ahead of the busy holiday season.
While the glass shortage across the Unite States is affecting multiple industries, businesses that rely on glass jars are finding it particularly hard to sell their products. One Colorado-based cosmetics company said prices for the glass jars she uses to bottle her products have almost doubled since last year.
That shortage will likely drive up consumer prices of everything from spaghetti sauce to your favorite holiday beverage, whether it's California wine or Kentucky bourbon.
There is no singular reason for the shortage. Rising consumer demand, continuing labor shortages and international manufacturing delays are all conspiring to lead to higher transportation costs and inflation.

The big Beam Apple got a few months back was in glass. The one I got a couple of weeks ago was in plastic.
