It's just for Californians

From the same article:

Consumers have differing opinions on the excise tax, which is a levy on a specific good, often at the producer or supplier level and folded into the retail price, rather than a sales tax, which is paid directly by consumers...

Although increases are proposed for all forms of alcohol, it is California's wine industry that feels the most threatened by the proposal. The levy is charged for wine made and consumed in California and wine shipped into the state. It doesn't affect wine produced in California and shipped to other states or abroad.
