(Adds details) BERLIN, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Germany's wholesale price index rose in January compared with the same month last year, according to data released on Tuesday. Wholesale prices increased by 10.6% on the year, the federal statistics office reported. Wholesale price growth peaked in April, with a 23.8% year-on-year increase.

High wholesale prices were driven mainly by increased prices for food, beverages and tobacco, which posted a 16.2% year on year increase in January.
