Hi having just been over the water to england and observed 2 ladies buying a bottle of hardy's red wine for 6 pound the 75cl size in a bar, it made me think about our quarter bottles.
What other country do they sell these in? Most other european countries sell wine by the glass from a big bottle. Are these just bottled for Ireland and if so why so?
The wine is usually nicer and better value out of big bottles. I had just left cork airport where I paid 5.50 for a glass from a bottle and if I wished to buy a big bottle at airport it was priced at 25 euro a big difference from 6GBP I know that the tax take from the gov here is more but that is a big difference. Do any pubs in Ireland sell 75cl bottles? I have always seen only 1/4 bottles. It would be much better value for 2 - 3 to get a 75cl bottles and a couple of glasses. are the 1/4 bottles just another way of extracting more money out of us?
