That story about the pint bottle of champagne "about to return" thanks to Brexit? It has repeated regularly over the past 5 years. thetimes.co.uk/article/brexit… And here in 2018. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
I dunno, maybe this time it's true. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…
But it still seems a crazy trade-off. "Yes, we have smashed up our most important economic relationships, imposed huge new barriers to trade, burdened our future growth prospects - but on the bright side, we might get an even number of servings in our champagne bottles ..."
"... providing of course that it makes any sense for major global brands to manufacture a unique container for one mid-sized national market. Which it probably won't. Which is why the story keeps being recycled in the pro-Brexit press - but somehow never actually comes to pass."
Meanwhile, the economic upside from not doing Brexit would probably have paid for enough Bollinger and Pol Roger to serve the stuff free to every rider on the London bus system for the next decade. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… END
