UK introduces pint-sized wine bottles

The UK introduced for the first time pint-sized bottles of still and sparkling wine of 568ml size, to supermarket shelves, pubs, clubs and restaurants in the country. The move to introduce the 568ml size would sit alongside the 200ml and 500ml measures already available, offering more flexibility and choice for customers.

UK’s Department for Business and Trade said that 900 vineyards are set to benefit from the new provision; boosting production and supporting British businesses, which currently produce around 12.2 million bottles of still or sparkling wine a year.
