(1) The wholesale price for case lot sales of liquor and fortified wine shall include a markup of 16.99% of the cost plus freight.

The ABC Board will, from time to time at its discretion, adjust these markups for such circumstances as:

(1) timing to adjust for price increases or decreases by distillers;

(2) deciding whether short-term and/or small discounts extended by the distiller are to be passed through to customers;

(3) depletion of inventory of slow moving items that are to be closed out; and

(4) for other unique market circumstances.
