State-owned liquor stores are hiking the prices of hundreds of items at the end of August.
The increase is a result of last year's state law allowing the state liquor control board the authority to raise prices, something the agency hasn't done since the early 1990s.
Most items will cost a dollar more.
State officials say they decided on the price hikes after comparing product prices in other states. Those officials say they believe the increases will still leave things competitive.
