Yes.Am I too sensitive about this issue, what do others think?
Why is this wrong?One supermarket before Christmas was doing a promo, half price bottle of wine when you spent over €xx on groceries, this is surely wrong.
Why? to make it difficult to enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner?...I've often thought the same to be honest & I do think alcohol should be sold separately to the food/groceries. Seems sensible given the nature of the product.
Every now and again I avail of 3 for £10 on wine. But that doesn't make me a wino.
A wha'?It sure doesn't make you a wine connisseur!

Having said that, maybe the new relaxed way will eventually help to foster a new drinking culture? I honestly don't know.....don't see much evidence of that yet though.
In fairness, the vast majority of people who drink alcohol in this country do so responsibly and in moderation. It is imho unfair to punish them for the overindulgence of a minority. In any society, you will always have a certain element who will abuse alcohol.
Does anyone have any sensible suggestions as to how such legislation could be enforced? Are we going to have yet more inspectors travelling from shop to shop at the taxpayer's expense? How will small shops and convenience stores comply if their retail space is limited? Imho, we have far too much regulation as it is - much of it of questionable value, and all of it very costly for the taxpayer.
