My leading impression of this year has been that prices of mainstream wine seem suddenly to have gone through the roof. Of course, there is general inflation to take into account. For a while, wine producers absorbed increased costs of, for example, bottles and equipment. They now seem to have decided en masse to pass them on to us consumers. And in the UK, since August 1, we have had the additional imposition of a new and complex duty system tied to alcohol content which has added 44p a bottle to most still wines.
