Prices for wine in the UK are always going to increase. It doesn't matter if currencies become stable, if there is a surplus of glass and harvests are plentiful and of outstanding quality. Retail prices will rise because the Chancellor will wallop on a stupid sum of duty in a hopeless attempt to stop young people binge drinking, which will never work. Bring back Ken Clark (and not a lot of people say that!). There was a man who liked a drink when delivering his budget speech!
