Now THAT could be an issue! The European wine and beer in short supply/double the price...

I did like to keep in excess of a months worth of wine for the pair of us but its been run down a fair bit, partly due to 'Wee Jimmy' putting the a minimum unit price on alcohol in Scotland. :evil: I do plan on building it back up, I might have sorted a bevvy mule, a mate who has a caravan near Berwick upon Tweed. :lol:

Mrs J drinks what the co op offers.Me,It is homebrew mostly.I find pub beer to be insipid.

This will be another issue that the leavers never reckoned on.

I wasn't joking about the booze mule from south of the border, at the lower end of the price range its cheaper in England, my Tennents lager went up a few quid a slab and the cheap boxes of Aussie Shiraz that I could 'tolerate' went up over 3 quid a box. On the flipside, as its over 15 quid a box I'm actually drinking nicer wine than I previously was, back up to a fiver a bottle.... #bigspender :lol:
