The main causes of the problem of distillery in Poland are seen in the import of cheap rectified and dehydrated spirits from other EU countries, which results in a fall in market prices that do not provide for reimbursement of production costs and increase of excise duty in 2014, which significantly contributed to the closure of the distillery.
