UK to Allow Sale of Pint-Sized Wine Bottles in Post-Brexit Move

Despite the reintroduction of imperial measurements for wine, a government consultation reveals overwhelming support for retaining the metric system.

Starting in 2024, the UK will allow the sale of wine in pint-sized bottles, a move made possible by Brexit. This will be the first time in 50 years that Britons can buy 'pints' of wine.
The new 568ml bottle will be available along with other post-Brexit 'freedoms,' according to the British government. Pre-packed still and sparkling wine in cans and bottles will be sold in 200ml and 500ml quantities.
Before the UK's exit from the European Union, such decisions were taken in Brussels, meaning that EU members had to collectively agree to new rules in this area.
The change has been long planned by previous Tory ministers, and long talked up as a Brexit boost by Eurosceptics who championed leaving the EU.
Despite the change, a government consultation revealed 98.7 percent of people were in favor of keeping metric units when buying or selling products, leading to the decision to retain the metric system.
