Abstract
For this New Year’s post, no year in review, no specific predictions and no nominations for best or worst of 2023. How often can you conclude that the effects of Brexit have been terrible and are likely to be even worse in the years to come? Well, OK then, weirdest Brexit news of the past month: the Tory government is reintroducing the pint of wine as an official measure in the UK, with the boast that this is made possible by Brexit. That’s telling those continentals: instead of a measly 500 ml, (sparkling) wine can now also come in pint bottles, that’s 568 ml. If, for some unfathomable reason, this will make a difference to wine sales, it seems to me that it’s ultimately the EU’s French, Italian and Spanish producers who’re going to benefit. So, ta for that.
