The targeting of those, particularly young people, buying wine is an old issue. I never liked cider or wine when I was younger, but among the groups of lads with whom one would hang about there would be the bottle of Linden Village for £2.50 from the supermarket or a bottle of wine, such as Buckfast. When I was growing up, it was those monks who were getting many young boys and girls intoxicated, but I do not think they set out with that intention.
