Prospect of €10 for bottle sends some on Twitter into overdrive.
The recommendation by the Oireachtas health committee yesterday that the Government enacts its highest proposed minimum unit price for alcohol has sent shivers down the spines of half of Middle Ireland. The prospect of a floor price of €10 for a bottle of wine has sent some on Twitter into overdrive.
The Government is attempting to walk a fine line between reducing the consumption of cheap booze among those citizens most at risk from alcohol abuse, while avoiding enraging the masses who simply want to enjoy an affordable tipple without being penalised.
