Veronica Fletcher, of Pantry & Larder, said: "Drink prices vary significantly across the UK, but certain drinks are notably cheaper in Scotland and these bring the average price down. For example, a bottle of Budweiser is £3.32 in most Wetherspoons in England, but £2.88 in most Scottish Wetherspoons."
