Majestic in Scotland: please note that our prices in Scotland operate differently to England and Wales

1. Scotland. The Alcohol Scotland Act 2010 prohibits any alcohol promotion offering customers a discount for buying multiple products in Scottish licensed stores. The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 sets a minimum price per unit for all alcoholic beverages sold in Scotland.
2. Wales. The Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Wales) Act 2018 and The Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Minimum Unit Price) (Wales) Regulations 2019 sets a minimum price per unit for all alcoholic beverages sold in Wales.
3. For all our customers to benefit from our promotional deals and competitive pricing, wherever a ‘Mix Any Six & Save’ price (or any other deal as applicable) is offered in England, this will be single bottle price we charge in Scotland, unless such a price is under the minimum unit price threshold in Scotland (as outlined and updated by the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012).
4. Our Website allows you to choose where you would like your order to be delivered or collected from before placing the order. By default, our Website shows the pricing in England, however if you select an address served by a location in Scotland, the prices shown online will be automatically updated to ensure that unit prices are updated to reflect the minimum pricing threshold in Scotland.
5. Alcohol laws in Scotland only cover deliveries that originate in Scotland, and any deliveries to Scotland originating from an English location will not be affected by such laws. In these instances, the prices shown online will be prices valid in England and (including Mix Any Six & Save discounts). This will also be applicable if you are based in Scotland and you are placing an order for delivery to an address in England.
