The website is actually a US site and discusses the removal of the luxury tax and subsequent rise in excise tax on alcohol. The link is too long to add so it will need to be copied and pasted!

I also found the below link which has the same information and states :
In practical term, the excise tax on a liter of beer will increase from Rp. 3,500 (US$0.37) to Rp. 11,000 (US$1.17).
The tax on a liter of locally made wine will increase from Rp. 10,000 (US$1.06) to Rp. 30,000 (US$3.19). Imported wine will incur a tax increase from Rp. 20,000 (US$2.12) to Rp. 40,000 (US$4.25).
Imported spirits with an alcohol content of more than 20% will see taxes increase from Rp.50,000 (US$5.40) to Rp. 130,000 (US$13.80) per liter.
I have just written to the Indonesian Consulate here in Perth to ask for confirmation on these amounts for declared extra wine as I would like to some to celebrate the birth of a friend's baby early next year. I will let you all know the response.
