亚利桑那酿酒厂寻找玻璃短缺，供应链问题的其他形式的装瓶
PHOENIX-商店货架是空的，交货延迟 - 其中大部分可以归咎于美国的供应链中断，包括Arizona，已经处理了几个月。
Now,small businessesare having to pivot especially with the holiday season coming up.
Small business owners are dealing with having to juggle the fact that they don’t have all their stock, come up with new plans, figure out how to stay afloat and make sure their businesses can thrive.
Merkin Vineyards is a family-owned business based in Jerome. They own a Scottsdale wine bar, which is feeling the impacts of the supply chain disruptions.
"We bottle all our own wines. The issue we are going to be facing a little bit now and the coming months is an industry-wide glass shortage," said Calvin Arnold, national sales director for Merkin Vineyards.
他们看到包装材料，玻璃，软木塞和标签的到达时间延迟。
"When our customers in Australia are on the east coast and can’t get wine, we really need packaging material, bottles, corks, labels for those kinds of customers," Arnold said.
这些问题不是葡萄酒行业所独有的。必威手机登录全国各地的企业都面临着重大障碍。
Why? Cargo ships are waiting at ports and there is a shortage of workers.
商业战士首席执行官Rhett Doolittle解释说：“小型企业现在面临着一切，他们无法获得所需的产品。”
Business Warrior is a software company based in the Phoenix area, helping businesses with their needs through funding and attracting more customers.
他说，现在是小型企业改变模型的时候了。
"You can’t control your stuff sitting on a ship in the Pacific Ocean, but what you can control is what can you buy that can come in now, and buy it now and load up on inventory now," Doolittle said.
So, this is what Merkin Vineyards is doing.
In case they can’t get their hands on glass soon, Arnold says, "Not only do we put wine in kegs, we put wine in cans. We have different bottles and we are looking at different bottle supplies, getting orders in early and anticipate the last need before it is a crisis."
就供应链问题而言，《华尔街日报》说，11月14日，将跨太平洋的集装箱移动的成本下降了四分之一以上。
However, there is still a log jam of ships outside U.S. ports that could last for months.
