Only this mate and we immediatly sniffed a rat when they changed the box over to a different design. A reduction of ABV to save on the alcohol tax and then they don't pass it on, then add insult to injury by messing with the recipe. The wife just did a review on Tesco yesterday to say the same. Sure they think the working class are puddled!
Imagine my consternation this afternoon when the Marge boys got in on the act. The other half bunged a tub of Flora in the trolly and I could see straight away that something was afoot! They've reduced the pack size down to 450ml from 500ml, so back on the shelve it went. I know It's not a tipple, but until I get my 50ml back were not playing out!
Tanqueray did the same, reducing down from 43.7% to 41.3%. I wrote to them and told them if they do it again then we're bailing. It's not about the % ABV as we can simply adjust the serving size, but it does impair the mouth taste of a lager and spirit when their bean counters mess with it's gravity.
