‘Wine shouldn’t be sold for less than €10’

Wine should not sell for less than €10 a bottle, the Oireachtas health committee has urged as it called for tougher measures to stem harmful drinking.

The committee wants the minimum price for alcohol set at the upper level of €1.10 per unit being considered by the Government.

This would see the price of the standard bottle of wine with 13% alcohol content top €10 in shops.
