Christopher Snowdon, Head of Lifestyle Economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs, responded to the report saying “the idea that wine consumed in restaurants has any significant impact on the number of alcohol-related deaths is just daft.

He added that “it is a sign of how out of touch public health campaigners have become that they think the size of wine glasses is a pressing issue that requires government action.”
