Tiz an interesting point. When they reduced the tax, did shop prices go down? Not where I am. Only CP margins went up. No surprise there.

As always, the poets were ahead of us. In this case, Leonard Cohen:

Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

That said, I noticed that if you do not stick with the old brands at the old prices but look past the 'Celebration Red', then quite a few new labels have appeared on the Makro shelf. (My vendor of choice beause there are no local choices beyond Lotus's's's's) So there are now wines from various countries in the B400 range that were not there before. Still bottom of the range stuff but at least some choice, even if it it is 4 quid stuff for 10 quid.
The boxed stuff has not changed, no new options there. I doubt CP want to lose margin.
