Alcohol prices to rise from next month – with bottle of wine to go up by 44p by tylerthe-theatre Tags:United Kingdom 6 comments Can we not even drink ourselves to death relatively cheaply now? £160 a year if you have a bottle a day, not so bad. [Feel bad for Gérard Depardieu though.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2758988/French-actor-Gerard-Depardieu-65-admits-drinking-14-bottles-wine-day-despite-having-quintuple-heart-bypass.html) I mean my local shop sells Hardys Shiraz on offer (quite often) for £5.99. That’s very cheap in 2023 by any measure. £6.49 won’t break the bank. But this is a good reminder that whenever the Government talks of “simplification”, they mean raising prices. Just like LNER train prices. Inflation goes brrrrr. Anyone reckon supermarkets will take the Piss as energy prices come down? Might just make my own at this rate,my partner made some saki from rice and fruit, was pretty strong. I mean I’m not a big drinker. Have a few at the weekend, but let’s take the fun out of life for everyone ffs. Killjoys Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
