Less alcohol in it?
No, 4.8% that one. It's the tax that makes it so expensive.

That and table service. The regulars at the local have insisted it staysI did as well after I spilt a whole pint, and then a few after that - these "tap to pay" things when you're drinking are naughty

Bottle of drinkable red is under €3 here, beer, same for a sixpack.
Oh, no booze cruising any more. Customs taking an interest in alcohol you take back.
But, if you go into a bar and order a "demi pression" (a loose relation to half a pint),
it costs anything up to €2.50. That would translate, very roughly, to €5.00 for a pint.
Not that much different to the UK, really.
The big difference, I think, is if you buy the drinks in a shop, there the prices are
much lower. A €10.00 bottle of wine is very drinkable indeed.
