    Aye,when average weekly wage was about £20 per week. Those wine prices probably seemed quite expensive at the time. Trick would be to have a time machine and travel back to 1972 with your 2023 salary

    No it's not, the Bordeaux is a shilling more.

    I believe that’s from about 1972, and having had a quick look, average wage was £36 for a manual worker over 21, and £1 then would be worth £16.88 now.

    So whilst it wasn’t expensive it wasn’t really cheap either.

    Conversion at the rate makes the 77p steak and chips £12.99 in todays money. About that, maybe less actually, in Wetherspoons including a pint of ale or glass of wine, and even less with a soft drink! I know wethys isn’t exactly posh but we’re talking about Berni Inn!

    An 8oz rump cost me just over a tenner in a Greene King boozer the other week. No bread roll or free ice cream for afters mind!

    EDIT

    it also makes it £20 for a bottle of Liebfraumilch. Wow…

    The Mateus Rose is two shillings more than that.
    The Chianti is more, but is a large caraffe.

    Standards of analysis on here are awful.
