Study Reveals Cost Implications for UK Drinkers
Trading standards officers discovered that more than 70% of beer and wine servings in pubs and bars fall short in measurement, leaving consumers to bear an average annual cost of £115.
Key Findings:
- 96 out of 137 test purchases did not meet the declared amount
- Short measures were identified in 77 venues across the UK
