Alcohol taxes rise

Taxes on alcohol have increased as of this month, under new rates brought in by the UK government.

It'll be up to individual businesses whether the new alcohol duties will be passed on to consumers in the form of price rises. 

Taxes on different types of alcohol will all rise by 3.66 percent, in line with inflation. 

For example, beer's now being charged at 95 pence per litre, cider at 48 pence and still wine at £3.52 per litre.
