It's the Minimum Unit Price for alcohol policy in Wales. It was 50p per unit and is now 65p per unit, the same as in Scotland.
So a litre of 37.5% gin that is £17.50 in England, was £18.75 in Wales before October 1st, and now £24.38 since that date.
I was advised to have a look at Amazon, and the missus made an account, and an order is on the way at £17.49 per litre with 5% as well.

I'll be taking a drive over the border to stock up there.

My brother lives just the other side of the Scotland/England border, he says most people in his area take short(ish) trips to Carlisle for a fair bit of (mainly alcoholic) stuff
