A spokesperson for elitefridges.co.uk commented on the findings: “In the UK, items are usually cheaper up north, so it’s interesting that Bournemouth — which is located on the south coast — is the cheapest place to buy a bottle of wine. Bournemouth is also just down the road from Sandbanks, which is one of the most affluent places in the world to live, making the results of this study even more surprising. 

 
Wine is a common drink due to its ability to bring pleasure to not only your taste buds but to your sense of smell and sight. For UK residents, this research highlights the areas that people can experience this sensation, with the least expense.”
