Liverpool students drink the cheapest wine in the country

My head


After a long week of uni there’s nothing better than going into your local and finding out that your uni sells the cheapest bottle of wine in the country. But that’s what you get when you go to uni in Liverpool. This is vital knowledge when getting ready for a sweaty night out at Popworld and preparing to be squeezed by Purple Aki – getting more for your money is what we’re good at, no wonder we have a drinking problem.

So good news then, that the average bottle of wine in Liverpool costs just £5.50. MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, an online discount site, has created a University Price Index to help students to see if their university gives them value for money when buying a pint of beer.

Our cousins in Cardiff came a close second at £5.75. This is well below the average price of a bottle at these different universities which is £6.93. Kings, UWE, Bristol and UCL of course offer the most expensive bottle of wine at £8.00 further highlighting how the North really is the best.
