WARREN, Ohio – Imported wine and spirits are becoming more expensive in the Mahoning Valley as tariffs, a weaker dollar and declining alcohol consumption push prices higher. Local distributors and retailers report increases of up to 40% on products from Europe, while some shops say they have yet to feel the full impact because pre-tariff inventory remains in stock.

Plus, Pearl Street Market in Cortland has quickly become a regional draw after opening in the former Cortland Hardwood Products building, hosting about 80 vendors selling antiques, handmade goods and specialty foods.

And the PNC Foundation and Operation Warm partnered again Tuesday to distribute 400 new winter coats to preschoolers at Alta Head Start, continuing an annual effort to support young children and families as colder weather arrives.
