More than two-thirds of beer and wine served in UK pubs and bars are being short-measured, a survey has revealed, costing punters more than £100 a year.
From 137 orders they were served 96 short measures, meaning around 70% were less than the prescribed quantity required by The Weights and Measures Order for pints and half pints and 175ml glasses of wine.Of the beer ordered around 86% was short-measured, while 43% of wine didn't meet the prescribed quantity required.
The Campaign for Real Ale national chairman Nik Antona said: “Consumers shouldn’t have to feel short-changed when they support their favourite pubs, social clubs, and taprooms. CAMRA agrees that the head should not be included in the pint measure and consumers are entitled to a 100% liquid pint.
