Suppose that the U. S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 45,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 40,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax), and producers receive $1 per bottle.
