As anticipation builds for the Cheltenham Festival, new research reveals that racegoers are expected to pay well over the odds for their bottles of bubbly, and the cost of a pint isn’t much better either.
The research from GrandNational.org.uk, examines the prices of a pint of Guinness and a bottle of fizz at every racecourse in the UK, finding Cheltenham to be lengths ahead of the competition, charging £66.00 per bottle – although not helped by only stocking Champagne.
Despite also not offering Prosecco, second-placed Windsor charges £49.50, which is £16.50 cheaper than Cheltenham.
