REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

So every champagne producer has to make a new size bottle just for the British market when they already sell bottle sizes from 375ml to 24 litres (I think a Nebuchadnezzar is 24 litres but would have to check).

So who picks up the cost of the glass and re-sized label printing in These niche 568ml bottles?

Or is the reality simply that you will be able to buy the standard size Moët at £20 or so for a 750 and the price label will also say £16.88 per pint on the shelf which will add nothing

The UK’s post-Brexit farming subsidy scheme has failed to improve on the old EU system and large landowners are still benefiting disproportionately, according to the president of the National Farmers Union.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Minette Batters, who is due to stand down as president of the union in February, slammed post-Brexit agricultural policy, which has been overseen by seven different environment secretaries since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016.

"The UK government’s decision to set catch limits for fish populations above those recommended by scientific advice is to be challenged in the courts by marine conservationists who accuse ministers of breaking their own post-Brexit rules.

The legal challenge, expected to start in January, will argue that the government is “illegally squandering” a public asset and going against laws aimed at improving sustainable fishing".

It is desperate stuff...we have gone from sunlit uplands to screw capped bottles for sparkling wine as the benefit of Brexit.

It's a tiny poll, just 2000 people, but the returns of those saying brexit is a failure is significant;

It’s okay the 0.1p per bottle saved in production cost for having no foil in a fucking tiny market will easily balance that out.

It’s almost like decisions that could have a massive detrimental impact to our country shouldn’t be left to people who haven’t got a fucking clue what they’re voting for. Almost.

That's one view but for balance we've got blue passports and pints of wine, so in the round it's pretty even
