You can find cheaper than £6 but you probably don’t want to drink it

Once you take into account duty, VAT, packaging, transport and supermarket markup a £5 bottle of wine leaves maybe 25p for the wine producer. That's why the quality/price relationship is so non-linear at the bottom end. 20% more on the bottle price is 400% more to the producer.

Just checked, what a rubbish law. Doesn’t affect the rich who drink expensive stuff while screwing the poor. In the name of protecting people as well.

Yep. It also made unnecessary busy work for UK wide online retailers such as Majestic who had to add a special case for sales to folks in Scotland.

I can buy Jameson cheaper in pretty much all of Europe, relative to Ireland. It's very sad.
