Scots booze prices rise faster under minimum pricing but cost of Buckfast tumbles
15.11.2022 - 08:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Drinkers in Scotland saw alcohol prices go up faster than those south of the border after minimum pricing laws were introduced, though one of the country's favourite tonics actually fell in price.

Public Health Scotland said the average price of alcoholic drinks in shops increased north of the border to a greater extent than in England and Wales over the same period.

Supermarket prices rose by almost 18%, from 56p to 66p per unit, while in convenience stores they went from 63p to 67p. The steepest price rises were for strong ciders and perries in convenience stores and own-brand cider and spirits in supermarkets, many
