Regional Questions

I am ordering from Scotland. How does that affect my order?

The Alcohol (Scotland) Act 2010, which came into force on 1 October 2011, disallows any alcohol promotion offering customers a discount for buying multiple products in Scottish stores whilst the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 sets a minimum price of 50 pence per unit for all alcoholic beverages sold in Scotland. The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 which came into force on 1 May 2018 sets a minimum unit price of 50 pence for all alcoholic beverages sold in Scotland.

 

So that all our customers can benefit from the same competitive pricing, wherever a multi-buy price is offered in England and Wales, this will be the single-bottle price we charge in Scotland, unless such a price is beneath the minimum price threshold as outlined by the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012, in such cases the price will automatically be changed to reflect the minimum legal price in Scotland.
