The New Hampshire liquor commission sold $850 million worth of wine and liquor in 2021. That represents approximately $283 million in gross profits and $563 million that funneled back to brokers and distillers/wineries from elsewhere around the world.
We can all help our local economy a great deal by thinking and drinking New Hampshire first when it comes to beer, wine and spirits. There are several small craft distilleries, breweries, and wineries in the state. Imagine the impact if we collectively encouraged our restaurants to replace products from afar with that from right down the street. The money kept at home will circulate through a local economy and pass through their hands time and time again.

Vermont has done a great job marketing maple syrup, and Maine has done well with Lobster. No reason NH can't follow those examples. Look what distilleries have done for Scotland!!
