    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/bottle-of-wine-to-cost-minimum-of-863-under-new-alcohol-law-34273680.html
    A bottle of wine will cost a minimum of €8.63 and a 500ml can of beer will be priced at no less than €1.95 under a new alcohol bill published by the Health Minister today.
    *A 750ml bottle of win at 11.5pc strength is to cost €8.63
    *A 700ml bottle of 40pc strength vodka will cost €28
    *A litre bottle of cider at 4.3pc will cost €4.30


    Have to say this is a little more than I thought.

    Looking at current purchases I made recently, I bought a slab of Guinness and Heineken for €28, new rules would bring those to 24 x €1.95 = €54.60. :eek:

    I bought a litre of Paddy in Supervalu for €25. Under new rules that would be 28/0.7 = €40 :eek:

    I do genuinely believe in responsible drinking but that's pretty shocking price inflation.
