Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FD8FHX - . Morrisons wine aisle covered with More Card signs advertising Buy 6 or more, save 25% . Numerous yellow promotional cards surround bottles of wine, making the scale of the multi-buy marketing unusually prominent and visually useful. The display promotes Morrisons' More Card ˜buy six, save 25%' wine offer, a loyalty-price mechanic used to encourage multi-bottle purchases. Morrisons' published terms state that qualifying bottles must be bought in multiples of six and that the offer is subject to exclusions and availability. The dense forest of yellow and green promotional labels makes the pricing message visually dominant. The scene has editorial relevance to supermarket loyalty schemes, alcohol marketing, household spending, promotional pricing, responsible drinking, public-health debate and the way major retailers use member-only discounts to influence purchasing behaviour. The location is Morrisons supermarket, United Kingdom. This geographical detail helps distinguish the subject from similar businesses, buildings or scenes elsewhere and gives the photograph stronger value for local, regional and comparative editorial use. Its 2026 context is especially relevant because it records the subject at a specific point in current retail, cultural or corporate change rather than as an undated generic view. The photograph is particularly useful where a story needs an identifiable real-world example rather than an abstract illustration, because the surrounding details place the subject in an ordinary British or European setting. Commercial and civic landscapes can change quickly, so apparently routine photographs of signs, shopfronts, machines and transport infrastructure often acquire additional documentary value when companies rebrand, premises close or policies change. This makes the photograph a useful piece of contemporary editorial documentation. It preserves a clear, searchable record of the subject and its setting for future editorial comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWCF - . Live traditional music performance at the Oppenheim wine festival, Germany. Photographed on 8 August 2026. The recorded location is Oppenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Looking at culinary tradition, the longer history is that food photographs are records of both taste and material culture
Ingredients, recipes, packaging and serving styles can date an era and show how regional traditions, convenience and international influences enter everyday diets. The background to festival is that carnivals, beer festivals and civic celebrations preserve traditions while continually adapting to new audiences
Signs, temporary stages, costumes and crowd-management measures document how organisers transform ordinary streets and venues. In 2026, culinary tradition remains relevant because hospitality and food retail continue to adapt to higher costs, delivery platforms and evolving diets, making older restaurant and product photographs useful evidence of consumer trends. Current 2026 context around festival is that major festivals are increasingly planned around crowd safety, accessibility, transport, security and environmental impact as well as entertainment
Images can therefore illustrate the operational infrastructure behind apparently spontaneous celebration. Associated keywords and synonyms include food culture, cuisine, street food, home cooking, food photography, regional food, consumer culture, meal, food provenance, eating out, public event, event management, visitor economy, community festival, cultural event, and street festival. Additional natural-language search terms include event infrastructure, live entertainment, tourism event, annual festival, public celebration, 146IMG_3944, drink, community, tourism, and event. For the story of food retail, it is useful to note that packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWDY - . Food and dessert stall at the Oppenheim wine festival in Germany. Photographed on 8 August 2026. The recorded location is Oppenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The background to food provenance is that restaurants, street vendors and domestic dishes illustrate migration and cultural exchange as much as appetite
Foods once considered specialist can become familiar through travel, supermarkets and changing urban populations. Within the history of public event, public festivals create a distinctive form of social history because the event may last only days while drawing together community groups, businesses and visitors from a much wider area. Current 2026 context around food provenance is that food affordability, provenance, nutrition and environmental impact remain prominent issues, while consumers increasingly balance convenience with interest in local ingredients, international cuisines and lower-waste packaging. Against the 2026 backdrop for public event, events remain important to local visitor economies , but organisers face higher costs and expectations around safeguarding, sustainability and inclusive access.

The recorded location is Oppenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. For meal, the historical context is that packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself. Looking at public celebration, the longer history is that festivals turn public space into temporary cultural infrastructure, bringing together performance, food, drink, costumes and crowds
Repeated annual events can become important parts of local identity and tourism. The background to travel is that visitor destinations are continually re-presented through signs, viewpoints, museums and events
Photographs can reveal both the enduring attractions of landscape and heritage and the commercial infrastructure built around them. For meal, the 2026 context is that food affordability, provenance, nutrition and environmental impact remain prominent issues, while consumers increasingly balance convenience with interest in local ingredients, international cuisines and lower-waste packaging.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWBE - . Weinstube Hottum traditional wine bar sign in Mainz, Germany. Photographed on 7 August 2026. The recorded location is Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. Within the history of eating out, packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself. In relation to alehouse, historical context shows that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. For the story of notice, it is useful to note that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. Against the 2026 backdrop for eating out, hospitality and food retail continue to adapt to higher costs, delivery platforms and changing diets, making older restaurant and product images useful evidence of consumer trends. As of 2026, the position for alehouse is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality. Associated subject terminology includes food culture, cuisine, street food, home cooking, food photography, regional food, consumer culture, and ingredients.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWBP - Busy evening nightlife at the Zeitungsente bar on Neubrunnenstrasse in central Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Customers fill outdoor tables beneath large parasols and trees, creating a lively summer street scene of eating, drinking and socialising after dark. The photograph records the atmosphere of Mainz city-centre hospitality, with illuminated bars and restaurants drawing residents and visitors into the pedestrian-friendly evening economy. It is suitable for editorial coverage of German nightlife, outdoor drinking, beer and wine culture, restaurants, bars, tourism, hospitality businesses, pavement dining, city-centre leisure and the economic importance of evening trade. The crowded terrace also provides useful context for stories about European café culture, hospitality staffing, consumer spending, licensing, tourism, warm-weather nightlife and the continuing popularity of socialising outdoors in historic German city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK69D - . Rams Head pub blackboard advertising Wine Dine and Dance in Church Ln, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed on 11 June 2026. The recorded location is Church Lane, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. The freestanding chalkboard promotes an evening event with wine, food and entertainment, placed beside outdoor pub seating in a leafy village setting. The handwritten-style board gives the image a traditional independent-pub character and provides a clear example of how pubs promote special events to local customers. In relation to licensed trade, historical context shows that beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially important to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. For the story of cuisine, it is useful to note that packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself. The historical setting for community history is that local place names and small landmarks can be as important to community history as nationally famous buildings
Streets, neighbourhood businesses and informal attractions provide reference points that may vanish during redevelopment or rebranding. As of 2026, the position for licensed trade is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality. For present-day cuisine, 2026 is significant because hospitality and food retail continue to adapt to higher costs, delivery platforms and changing diets, making older restaurant and product images useful evidence of consumer trends.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EMY4W9 - This documentary retail photograph shows a Tesco Low/No Alcohol shelf display stocked with alcohol-free and low-alcohol alternatives to beer, cider, wine, sparkling wine and spirits. The aisle signage sits above several shelves of bottles, cans and multipacks, with shelf-edge price labels visible and brands including Lucky Saint and Crooked Beverage Co among the products that can be read from the image. The display reflects the growth of market.htm Target=_Blank>supermarket no and low alcohol ranges, where shoppers are offered drinks that copy the social ritual, flavour cues and packaging of mainstream alcoholic products while reducing or removing alcohol content. Tesco describes its low and no alcohol range as including alcohol-free beer, wine, spirits, mixers, cordials and more, available online and in-store. The image is useful for editorial coverage of changing drinking habits, mindful drinking, Dry January, Sober October, alcohol moderation, public health, supermarket retail, product innovation, adult soft drinks, alcohol-free beer, no-alcohol cider, low-alcohol wine, zero-proof spirits, consumer choice and the changing UK drinks market. It can also illustrate more cautious stories about whether these products are genuinely healthier, because some low and no alcohol drinks may still contain calories, sugar, sweeteners or a small amount of alcohol, depending on the label. UK health advice says keeping alcohol risk low means not regularly drinking more than 14 units a week, spread across three or more days, so these products can fit into wider attempts to cut down, avoid hangovers, drink less at home or choose a safer option when driving, socialising or shopping for family occasions. The strong visual value is the dedicated supermarket shelf itself: a mainstream Tesco fixture presenting low and no alcohol as normal, visible and commercially important, rather than a niche health-product category.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHRFY - Photograph showing vineyard rows in the Giardini Naxos area of Sicily, Italy, with cultivated vines across brown soil and a large white Mediterranean building rising behind red tiled roofs and trees under a clear blue sky. The supplied title identifies the scene as Nerello Mascalese vineyards, although individual grape varieties cannot be confirmed from the photograph alone without vineyard records or a close view of leaves and bunches. In this part of eastern Sicily, close to Mount Etna, Mascali and Taormina, Nerello Mascalese is one of the key native red grapes associated with Etna wine. It is best known for producing Etna Rosso, a pale to medium-bodied red wine prized for elegance, freshness, red cherry, wild strawberry, floral notes, spice, minerality and fine tannins. Etna Rosso may be made entirely from Nerello Mascalese, or blended with Nerello Cappuccio under Etna DOC tradition, and the wines often reflect volcanic soils, altitude, sea breezes and microclimates around Europe's most active volcano. Giardini Naxos, on the Ionian coast below Taormina, sits within a wider landscape of coastal agriculture, citrus, olives, vineyards, tourism and historic settlement. The image is useful for editorial and commercial searches around Sicilian wine, Etna DOC, Nerello Mascalese, Italian viticulture, vineyard tourism, Mediterranean agriculture, wine production, rural Sicily, wine holidays, food and drink, sustainable farming, volcanic terroir, Taormina excursions and the link between tourism and agriculture in eastern Sicily. The neat vine training, dry soil, bright summer light, palms, low vegetation and clear blue sky suggest a warm growing season landscape, possibly late spring or summer before harvest. Strong stock-photo concepts include Sicily vineyard, Giardini Naxos, Etna wine region, Nerello Mascalese grapes, Etna Rosso, Italian red wine, wine tourism, Mediterranean countryside, volcanic wine, rural economy, agriculture, travel and Sicilian identity.

The recorded location is Giardini Naxos area, Sicily, Italy. Nerello Mascalese vineyards near Giardini Naxos in eastern Sicily, Italy, with rows of young vines stretching across volcanic soil towards the foothills of Mount Etna. Nerello Mascalese is one of Sicily's best-known red grape varieties and is particularly associated with Etna wines, where altitude, lava-rich soils and strong day-to-night temperature changes help shape distinctive wines. The neat rows of vines, green spring growth and surrounding countryside provide a strong visual for stories about regional wine production, agriculture, climate, food and drink tourism, vineyard management and the growing international reputation of wines produced on and around Mount Etna. Looking at regional food, the longer history is that restaurants, street vendors and domestic dishes illustrate migration and cultural exchange as much as appetite
Foods once considered specialist can become familiar through travel, supermarkets and changing urban populations. The background to spring flower is that seasonal imagery is especially useful for repeated comparison because flowering, snowfall and decoration recur annually but not identically. In 2026, regional food remains relevant because hospitality and food retail continue to adapt to higher costs, delivery platforms and changing diets, making older restaurant and product images valuable evidence of consumer trends. Current 2026 context around spring flower is that changing seasonal patterns are increasingly discussed in relation to climate, particularly the timing of flowering, heat, rainfall and snowfall. Other strongly related concepts include food culture, cuisine, street food, home cooking, food photography, consumer culture, ingredients, meal, culinary tradition, food provenance, eating out, winter, weather, and festive.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEB8 - Low & No Alcohol drinks range in a large Tesco superstore, showing supermarket shelving stocked with alcohol-free and low-alcohol alternatives to beer, lager, cider, wine and sparkling drinks. The overhead aisle sign reads No & Low Alcohol , while visible branded products include Peroni 0.0, Corona Cero and Guinness 0.0, alongside bottled and boxed alcohol-free drinks, multipacks and premium wine-style alternatives. Shelf edge labels and prices are clearly visible, giving the image added editorial value for stories about supermarket pricing, Clubcard promotions, cost of living pressures, retail merchandising and the growing market for alcohol alternatives.
The image is relevant for editorial use around healthier lifestyles, mindful drinking, Dry January, Sober October, alcohol moderation, sober curious consumers, public health, responsible drinking and changing UK drinking habits. The wide aisle view, large retail display and mix of beer, cider and wine substitutes make it useful for coverage of grocery retail trends, consumer choice, supermarket innovation and the way mainstream retailers now treat low and no alcohol drinks as a normal part of adult social drinking rather than a niche product.
The photograph can also illustrate wider debates about alcohol units, health advice, wellness culture, premium alcohol-free pricing, drivers choosing non-alcoholic drinks, pregnancy alcohol avoidance, younger adults drinking less and the development of adult soft drinks that mimic traditional beer and wine occasions. Tesco promotes a dedicated low and no alcohol range, while NHS alcohol guidance advises adults who drink not to regularly exceed 14 units a week and to spread drinking over several days. This makes the image suitable for articles on retail strategy, public health messaging, alcohol harm reduction, food and drink industry change, lifestyle choices and the commercial growth of zero alcohol beer, non-alcoholic wine and alcohol-free cider in UK supermarkets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F0799X - Framed promotional poster advertises Fizz Friday at Costello's Bar in Time Square, Warrington, offering a bottle of prosecco for £12.95 from 5pm. The portrait-format design shows a tall glass of orange-gold sparkling wine surrounded by an energetic liquid splash, effervescent bubbles and a dark textured background. Large white lettering makes the price and starting time immediately visible to customers inside the hospitality venue.
The offer illustrates how pubs and bars are thinking beyond the traditional pint to attract a wider range of customers during a financially challenging period for British hospitality. A relatively affordable bottle of prosecco can appeal to couples, groups of friends, after-work customers and people beginning a Friday night out. It may also encourage one partner who is less interested in beer to join a visit to a pub or bar, broadening the occasion beyond habitual drinkers.
Friday promotions can help venues generate earlier footfall, increase dwell time and convert quieter early-evening periods into more profitable trading sessions. The wording is simple and upbeat, linking sparkling wine with celebration, sociability and the start of the weekend. Clearly displaying a fixed price reduces uncertainty for cost-conscious consumers facing pressure on discretionary spending.
Costello's Bar forms part of Warrington's Time Square leisure development and serves beer, wine, spirits and cider. The venue is associated with the locally based Dunham Massey and Lymm brewing businesses. The photographed offer was also promoted during Warrington Restaurant Week as one of several incentives intended to encourage people to visit town-centre hospitality businesses.
This image documents value-led drinks marketing within the licensed trade. It shows how a familiar weekly theme, conspicuous price point and aspirational drink photograph can combine to attract punters, stimulate impulse purchases and position a bar as an affordable place for a social occas

The image captures a recognisable UK retail scene, showing the expanding supermarket market for reduced alcohol products, sober curious lifestyles, mindful drinking, designated drivers, health-conscious shoppers and customers looking for alternatives to full-strength alcoholic drinks.
The display is useful for stories about changing British drinking habits, alcohol moderation, supermarket retail trends, public health, Dry January, low alcohol beer, alcohol-free gin style drinks, low and no wine, cider alternatives, adult soft drinks, pricing, promotions and the growing commercial value of no and low alcohol ranges. The visible shelf-edge prices, branded bottles, cans and wine-style packaging help show how these products are now merchandised as a mainstream category rather than a small niche. The overhead No and Low Alcohol sign gives the photograph strong editorial clarity, making the subject readable even at thumbnail size.
This image can support articles about alcohol duty, cost of living pressures, younger consumers drinking less, responsible drinking campaigns, supermarket category management, health policy, alcohol substitution, wellness retail, product innovation and the blurring of boundaries between alcohol aisles and adult non-alcoholic drinks. It also suits features on UK grocery chains, Asda store layouts, consumer choice, changing social habits and the wider cultural shift towards moderation. The bright supermarket lighting, metal shelving, price tickets and densely packed products create an authentic documentary view of everyday shopping, useful for newspapers, magazines, blogs, market research, retail reports and public health commentary

Ingredients, recipes, packaging and serving styles can date an era and show how regional traditions, convenience and international influences enter everyday diets. Seen through public house, the earlier context is that beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially significant to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. For local business, the historical context is that market halls have long concentrated small traders under one roof, combining food, household goods and specialist retail with an important social role
Regenerated markets increasingly mix traditional stalls with cafés, events and independent makers. In the 2026 discussion of culinary tradition, food affordability, provenance, nutrition and environmental impact continue to be prominent issues, while consumers increasingly balance convenience with interest in local ingredients, international cuisines and lower-waste packaging. The 2026 relevance of public house comes from the fact that pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade

The historical setting for cask ale is that beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially important to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. Seen through ingredients, the earlier context is that packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself.

According to WSTA, the forecast inflation rate of 10.1% is being used as the measure for increasing duty rates on all non-draught products, but will be adjusted according to alcohol content. In simple terms, the higher the alcohol per volume (ABV), the higher the new duty rate will be.
Duty changes in line with ABV
While some products have previously been measured on volume only “ such as still wine and cider “ from 1st August all alcohol products will be measured by alcohol volume or ABV.
What does this mean for beer?
Draught beer and cider products are protected by a 9.2% discount offered on items in 20ltr containers that are less than 8.5% and use a dispense system, meaning that, for example, the duty on a 50ltr 4% lager will not change.
However, the standard rate of duty on packaged beer that is 3.5% ABV and above will rise by 10.1%. This will increase the price of a 24 pack of 330ml 4.5% lager by £0.69p per case.
What does this mean for wine?
Most wine will see an increase of £0.44 per 75cl bottle, or a 20% increase in the duty paid (£2.67 vs the current £2.23). This increase will apply to wines with an ABV between 11.5% and 14.5%.
Wines with an ABV above 15% will see a duty increase of £0.97 (+44%) per 75cl bottle, and this increase gets bigger the higher the alcohol percentage “ duty on fortified wines of +20% ABV will go up by £1.30 to £4.28 per 75cl bottle.
On the other hand, wine under 11.5% ABV will be treated more favourably. Duty on wine at 10% ABV, for example, will be £0.09 less than the current rate (at £2.14 per 75cl bottle).
Further abolishment of separate duty rates for sparkling and still wine

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHNGMD - Bacharach (also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle.
Today Bacharach thrives on tourism and wine from Bacharach is still enjoying international popularity. Not to be overlooked, however, are problems arising from a shrinking population, itself brought about by a lack of prospects.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPDJGG - . Tanners, Hereford finest Dry Gin bottles. Photographed on 30 July 2022. The recorded location is Hereford city centre , Herefordshire, England, UK, HR1. Revived by Tanners in 1983, this gin is traditionally double distilled and bottled at the full 40% vol which helps the botanicals to express themselves. Wonderfully crisp and clean with well-defined juniper character and a citrus edge. In historical terms, food culture links domestic cooking with commercial production, markets, cafés, pubs and regional specialities
Photographs of ingredients, dishes and branded products can therefore support both lifestyle subjects and social-history stories about consumption. In the longer view, branded products and packaging are compact records of consumer culture
Logos, colours, materials and slogans can change repeatedly even when the underlying product remains familiar, allowing a still-life image to date a particular period of retail history. During 2026, current food coverage frequently combines lifestyle with questions of price, health, sourcing and environmental impact
Older packaging and products also provide valuable evidence of how branding, portioning and consumer expectations have changed. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that packaging is increasingly judged not only by branding but by recyclability, material use and environmental claims
Older products can therefore illustrate how consumer design evolved before today's stronger focus on circularity and waste reduction. In the longer view, food photographs can document changing tastes, brands and methods of preparation as effectively as they illustrate a meal
Regional products, traditional recipes, independent food businesses and packaging all carry information about consumer culture and local identity. Additional subject vocabulary includes food photography, home cooking, local produce, consumer food, food retail, hospitality, diet, nutrition, regional food, and food provenance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG9AER - Prosecco is an Italian white wine. Prosecco controlled designation of origin can be spumante (sparkling wine), frizzante (semi-sparkling wine), or tranquillo (still wine). It is made from Glera grapes, formerly known also as Prosecco, but other grape varieties may be included. The following varieties are traditionally used with Glera up to a maximum of 15 per cent of the total: Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. The name Prosecco is derived from the Italian village of Prosecco near Trieste, where the grape and wine originated.
Prosecco DOC is produced in nine provinces spanning the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. Prosecco Superiore DOCG comes in two varieties: Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG, which can only be made in the Treviso province of Veneto on the hills between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene (north of Treviso), and the smaller Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG, produced near the town of Asolo.
Prosecco is the main ingredient of the Bellini cocktail and can be a less expensive substitute of Champagne. It is also a key ingredient of venetian spritz, a popular cocktail in northern Italy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PBRY2N - The cultivation of the domesticated grape began 6,000“8,000 years ago in the Near East. Yeast, one of the earliest domesticated microorganisms, occurs naturally on the skins of grapes, leading to the discovery of alcoholic drinks such as wine. The earliest archeological evidence for a dominant position of wine-making in human culture dates from 8,000 years ago in Georgia. The oldest known winery was found in Armenia, dating to around 4000 BC.
By the 9th century AD the city of Shiraz was known to produce some of the finest wines in the Middle East. Thus it has been proposed that Syrah red wine is named after Shiraz, a city in Persia where the grape was used to make Shirazi wine. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics record the cultivation of purple grapes, and history attests to the ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans growing purple grapes for both eating and wine production. The growing of grapes would later spread to other regions in Europe, as well as North Africa, and eventually in North America.
In North America, native grapes belonging to various species of the genus Vitis proliferate in the wild across the continent, and were a part of the diet of many Native Americans, but were considered by European colonists to be unsuitable for wine. Vitis vinifera cultivars were imported for that purpose.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWP0 - Niagara-on-the-Lake is a town in Ontario, Canada. It is located on the Niagara Peninsula at the point where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario, across the river from New York, United States. Niagara-on-the-Lake is in the Niagara Region of Ontario and is the only town in Canada that has a lord mayor. It has a population of 17,511 (2016).
Niagara-on-the-Lake is important in the history of Canada: it served as the first capital of the province of Upper Canada, the predecessor of Ontario, and was called Newark from 1792 to 1797. During the War of 1812, the town, the two former villages of St. David's and Queenston, and Fort George were the sites of numerous battles following the American invasion of Upper Canada, and the town was razed. Niagara-on-the-Lake is home to the oldest Catholic church and the second-oldest Anglican church in Ontario and the oldest surviving golf course in North America.
Today, Niagara-on-the-Lake draws tourists with its colonial-style buildings, the Shaw Festival, Fort George, wineries, an outlet mall on the highway, and its proximity to Niagara Falls. The Niagara Region has the second-highest percentage of seniors in Ontario

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P110KN - Drinking alcohol alone is an activity that can herald the presence of a dependence and increasing tolerance to the drink. Some people enjoy the freedom associated with going out by themselves and socializing over a drink or two. Others enjoy drinking at home by themselves and find that alcohol helps them to relax and sleep. These kinds of behaviors can indicate that a person is self-medicating problems or issues that they do not want to face. They may be having problems with family members, friends or at work, and need alcohol to help them forget what is going on. A person could also suffer from a mental illness or social anxiety and need alcohol to help them to socialize without realizing that they are becoming dependent.
A person may also begin to drink by themselves because they do not want people to question the amount or frequency of alcohol that they are drinking. A person who hides their drinking from others should be questioning why they are doing it “ are they ashamed or feeling guilty of their drinking? Do friends and family tell them that they drink too much? Why do they want to be drunk alone? A person who drinks alone is putting themselves at risk of developing a substance abuse problem and of increasing the problems they are facing. They are isolating themselves from others, magnifying problems with friends and family and denying that they have a problem.

It is a free house, as free as the wind as Mr Kerr used to say, therefore it has no connection with any brewery and only sells the best of each brewers produce.
The public house serves food everyday from 12 - 3 pm and in the evenings from 6.30 - 9 pm (except Friday / Sunday nights). A snack menu is available till 5 pm. The food that is served is seafood and SMØRREBRØD sandwiches. Introduced many years ago, it has been tailor-made to suit customers needs, and freshly prepared each day, it is ideal as a drinker's meal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEBB - Photograph of a No & Low Alcohol drinks section in a Tesco supermarket aisle, showing shelves stocked with alcohol-free and low-alcohol alternatives to beer, lager, cider, wine and spirits. Visible products include Lucky Saint alcohol-free beer, Infinite Session, no and low beer multipacks, canned drinks, wine-style alternatives and spirit-style bottles, with price labels and Clubcard shelf edge promotions below. The image is useful for editorial themes around changing drinking habits, healthier lifestyles, Dry January, Sober October, mindful drinking, alcohol moderation, supermarket retail and the growing market for low and no alcohol drinks.
The sign above the shelving clearly reads No & Low Alcohol , making the photograph relevant for searches about alcohol-free drinks ranges, no alcohol beer, non-alcoholic wine, low alcohol cider, alcohol-free spirits and supermarket merchandising. It also works for stories about the cost of healthier choices, as several shelf prices are visible and many premium low and no alcohol products can appear expensive compared with standard soft drinks or mainstream beers. The image can illustrate pricing, health, wellbeing, alcohol harm reduction, public health messaging and how retailers are normalising alternatives for customers who want to cut down without avoiding social drinking rituals.
The UK NHS advises adults who drink alcohol not to regularly exceed 14 units a week and to spread drinking over three or more days, while Tesco advertises a dedicated range of low and no alcohol beer, wine, spirits, mixers and other drinks. This aisle display therefore has strong editorial value for features on retail trends, alcohol guidance, moderation, consumer behaviour, supermarket strategy, product innovation, health-conscious shopping, alcohol-free lager, zero alcohol beer, lower calorie lifestyles and the cultural shift towards more choice for drivers, pregnant customers, younger adults and anyone reducing alcohol intake.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JEKPPB - Wide supermarket shelf display in Morrisons shows a dedicated No & Low Alcohol section, with suspended overhead signage and a broad range of bottled and canned drinks arranged below. The photograph captures alcohol-free and reduced-alcohol products presented as a mainstream grocery choice rather than a niche seasonal line. Visible items include dark glass beer bottles, canned spirit alternatives and multipacks of water, all positioned within a clearly marked bay for everyday shoppers.
The image was taken in summer 2026, during the June and July period of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, when supermarkets were heavily focused on drinks, snacks and home-viewing purchases. Industry evidence from 2026 showed that warm weather and the tournament helped stimulate wider drinks spending, while no- and low-alcohol products continued their longer-term rise in popularity. The photograph itself cannot prove the exact sales uplift at this store, but it does illustrate how major retailers were giving the category more space and stronger visibility during a major summer consumption occasion.
The scene also reflects a broader shift in British drinking habits. Low- and no-alcohol beer has become one of the fastest-growing parts of the market, while consumers increasingly choose moderation, wellness, driving safety and next-day functionality over traditional full-strength beers, wines and spirits. What was once strongly associated with Dry January is now a year-round supermarket category. Dedicated fixtures such as this Morrisons bay show how alcohol alternatives have moved into the retail mainstream, with better branding, wider choice and greater acceptance among shoppers seeking healthier or more flexible adult drinks options.
The picture therefore works both as a straightforward retail scene and as an illustration of changing consumer behaviour in the UK grocery sector during summer 2026. It is a bright indoor store photograph with no sky visible.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M0F6K3 - The Pelican has been a pub in Notting Hill on All Saints Road since 1870, but was recently acquired by new owners and, following a full restoration and soft opening period, it has relaunched as a pub and dining room. Restaurateur James Gummer, along with co-owners Phil Winser and Richard Squire, and Head Chef Owen Kenworthy, have redesigned and refurbished the site to create what they describe as a place that becomes a cornerstone of the local community, not just somewhere to eat and drink .
Owen Kenworthy's background is impressively broad, ranging from The Wolseley and Sketch to Primeur and Brawn, where he was Head Chef alongside Ed Wilson when it opened in 2010. His cooking style is rustic, modern executions of classic British and European cuisine.
The focus is on the finest British produce, with sustainability also a fundamental priority, and engaging suppliers who use regenerative farming methods, where possible. Typical dishes on the dining room menu include: Raw beef with Gentleman's Relish, Ham hock with egg mayo, Potted shrimp, Onglet and shallot, and Lobster and monkfish pie with lobster head gravy. Various cuts of beef are butchered on-site, and a ˜5th Quarter Pie' makes use of the offal. Desserts include Lemon posset with shortbread
and Ginger Parkin and custard, made with Owen's family recipe. The pub offering is more casual with options such as Mince on toast
Welsh rarebit
Sausage roll
and Spider crab toast.
A wide selection of British beers includes Allsopp's IPA, Portobello Pilsner, and Deya. In addition to classic cocktails and a concise 40-bin wine list (glasses from £5/bottles from £25), a constantly evolving single bottle wine list is available.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JEKPP1 - Morrisons supermarket display presents a prominent selection of no-alcohol and low-alcohol drinks beneath a large overhead sign reading NO & LOW ALCOHOL . The shelf includes dark glass beer and cider bottles, multipacks, brightly coloured cans and alcohol-free gin-style drinks, offering customers alternatives to conventional alcoholic products. Visible products include Old Speckled Hen alcohol-free beer, fruit-flavoured bottled drinks and strawberry-and-lime canned gin alternatives.
The display reflects the rapid expansion of the British no-and-low drinks category, which has moved beyond a limited seasonal offering into an established part of mainstream supermarket retail. Consumers increasingly choose reduced-alcohol and zero-proof products for health, moderation, driving, fitness, work and lifestyle reasons while still wanting drinks suited to social occasions. Improved branding, flavour choice and packaging also help these products compete more directly with standard beers, ciders, wines and spirits.
During the 2026 men's football World Cup, supermarket drink aisles became particularly relevant to home viewing, match-night gatherings and late kick-off times. Alcohol-free and low-alcohol choices allow football supporters to participate in the shared ritual of opening a beer or mixed drink without necessarily consuming conventional-strength alcohol. Market evidence indicates that Britain's no-and-low sector continued to grow strongly before and during 2026, although the photograph alone cannot establish that this particular Morrisons branch achieved record sales.
The image illustrates changing consumer attitudes towards alcohol, responsible drinking, sober-curious lifestyles and the increasing commercial importance of healthier adult beverage choices. It also documents how major grocery retailers use dedicated signage and broad product ranges to make alcohol alternatives more visible, accessible and normal within everyday shopping

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JEKPPJ - Dedicated no-and-low-alcohol section inside a Morrisons market.htm Target=_Blank>supermarket displays an expanding selection of alcohol-free and reduced-strength drinks during summer 2026. Large suspended signs reading NO & LOW ALCOHOL identify the category above shelves filled with bottled beers, ciders and other adult beverages. Visible brands include Erdinger, Lucky Saint, Brothers, Old Speckled Hen and additional bottled and canned alternatives, with yellow shelf-edge labels showing prices and promotional information.
The display reflects the growing visibility of alcohol-free products within mainstream British grocery retail. Once confined to a small part of the drinks aisle, no-and-low ranges now receive clearer merchandising, broader brand choice and dedicated fixtures. Consumers may select these drinks for moderation, health, driving, work, fitness or personal preference while retaining familiar beer and cider flavours and the social ritual associated with opening a bottle during a gathering.
The photograph was made during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, when football viewing, warm summer weather and matchday gatherings created additional demand for drinks and refreshments. Evidence supports a wider rise in World Cup-related spending and continued strong growth in no-and-low beer, but the image alone cannot establish the precise sales uplift achieved by Morrisons or by this particular branch. The special display nevertheless shows how supermarkets positioned the category to benefit from seasonal demand and home viewing occasions.
Industry reporting during 2026 described continued momentum in alcohol-free beer and forecast record summer volumes. The scene therefore documents changing British drinking habits, greater acceptance of sober-curious and reduced-alcohol lifestyles, supermarket competition for a developing market and the commercial overlap between major sporting events, health-conscious consumption and responsible social drinking

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P110KP - Drinking alcohol alone is an activity that can herald the presence of a dependence and increasing tolerance to the drink. Some people enjoy the freedom associated with going out by themselves and socializing over a drink or two. Others enjoy drinking at home by themselves and find that alcohol helps them to relax and sleep. These kinds of behaviors can indicate that a person is self-medicating problems or issues that they do not want to face. They may be having problems with family members, friends or at work, and need alcohol to help them forget what is going on. A person could also suffer from a mental illness or social anxiety and need alcohol to help them to socialize without realizing that they are becoming dependent.
A person may also begin to drink by themselves because they do not want people to question the amount or frequency of alcohol that they are drinking. A person who hides their drinking from others should be questioning why they are doing it “ are they ashamed or feeling guilty of their drinking? Do friends and family tell them that they drink too much? Why do they want to be drunk alone? A person who drinks alone is putting themselves at risk of developing a substance abuse problem and of increasing the problems they are facing. They are isolating themselves from others, magnifying problems with friends and family and denying that they have a problem.
