READING might be famous for beer, but it also has a new accolade for wine – it’s among the most expensive places in the country for a glass.
New research by wine cooler experts elitefridges.co.uk analysed data from Numbeo to discover the cheapest and most expensive city in the UK for a bottle of wine.
Norwich is the most expensive UK city, with the average bottle costing £8.11.
London and Leeds came joint third for price of a supermarket vintage. The average bottle costs £8 – 93p more expensive than the National average.
In the Ding, the average bottle of wine costs £7.86, placing it as the fourth most expensive, and 79p more expensive than the National average.
Bristol ranks just below, with the average costing £7.76.
Bournemouth is the cheapest place in the UK for a bottle of wine with a cost of £5.93 – £1.14 lower than the national average.
A spokesperson for elitefridges.co.uk said: “Wine is a staple in many homes up and down the UK and this study offers a fascinating insight into the difference in the cost of a bottle of wine, particularly as we face rising costs for everyday items due to the cost-of-living crisis.”
