Wine Prices Set to Rise
The Chancellor will make his Budget speech to the House of Commons on 12th March 2008 at 12:30pm and if the rumours are to be believed, Mr Darling is probably going to add between 10-20p per bottle on wine. This is a huge hike and will mean that duty could rise to as much as £1.57 per bottle. Whilst this will make less of a difference on a £10 bottle, it will kill the sub £5 market. So if you are to take the advice of top wine writers like Tim Atkin of the Observer, now is the time to stock up on lower priced wines. And where better to do that than Slurp.co.uk? PLUS you can use some of the Cork Points you've earned!
