Is anyone crying out for this?
will any manufacturer be bothered to make them?
I suspect only a very small minority will bother..

According to a wine maker interviewed in the graun piece, it is unlikely that anyone will actually sell it, because there's no demand to justify the capital investment required to make the bottles.

And here it is from the horse's mouth

English wineries will not be selling wine in pint bottles, so it is unlikely that anyone else would.

And another benefit. As anyone with any understanding of the processes knew it would happen, divergence on standards increases costs.

Recticel, a Belgian owned maker of insulation panels based in in Stoke-on-Trent will have to spend about £400,000 in the UK retesting its CE approved products to comply with the new UKCA mark which still applies to construction materials. Senior technical manager Simon Blackham said the tests would use the same test methods and standards as the EU and would have to be paid for, ultimately by the customer. Simon Storer, CEO of the Insulation Manufacturers Association, says the challenges are being replicated at many other firms. “The unintended consequences are significant and incredibly damaging.”

Not so snooty! Rich-Smugg said a pint bottle of champaign was the perfect size for a lunch of potted ptarmigan.

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
It was Churchill wasn't it? So it's basically happing because our wartime leader was a functioning alcoholic.
Anyway, here's a 620ml bottle of wine produced in France and available here in the UK.

There are some really ludicrous honours in there. Matthew Elliot gets one instead of a prison sentence.
Annoying, but makes it far more likely that reform will happen under the next administration. After all, Blair and Brown did not have a resignation honours list. This is a Tory thing.

Apparently the EU were helping razor clams evade capture in the Thames but now they're gone we've found them.

Oh lots and lots
after all - we voted for Brexit based on what Nigel and Boris told us in spite of a lot of it being total BS
there maybe benefits to Brexit - but those were not what "The People" were voting about
