Organic wines: available in independent and small off-licences

As you may have heard, the Government will be introducing Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) on all alcoholic beverages, likely to take effect in January 2022. I thought you should know that it will have practically no effect on the wines, beers or spirits that get featured on this page.

The price floor below which wine cannot be sold is to be €7.40 and besides maybe Aldi’s Toro Loco Rosé I don’t think I’ve ever featured a wine below this price. I have certainly never featured a gin, vodka, poitín or whiskey costing less than €22, nor a 500ml beer costing less than €1.70.
