Empire State stock traders pay just $.30 a gallon in excise taxes on their sparkling wine, the same rate charged to tech executives and movie stars in the Golden State, according to a fact sheet from the Wine Institute, which tracks and lobbies on wine policy issues.

Wisconsin and Wyoming residents pay a few cents less per gallon.

Floridians planning to pop a cork in the first moments of 2014 Wednesday will pay the highest sparkling wine excise tax, at $3.50 a gallon, followed by Alaskans, who can thank their legislators for raising the rate to $2.50 a gallon in 2002.

Massachusetts – nicknamed "Taxachusetts" by small-government fans – charges a lower rate than any state in the Deep South, at $.70 a gallon.

A gallon of liquid fills approximately five 750ml bottles.

In Utah, there's no per-gallon excise tax rate and residents instead pay a 65 percent mark-up that goes into state coffers. New Hampshire and Pennsylvania also charge a mark-up, rather than a per-gallon tax.
