According to the Scottish gov’t drinking one glass of wine a day for 7 days is considered “excessive”.

Once again, CNN publishes something not true as a news item. France used to enforce minimum pricing on various alcoholic beverages to protect the wine industry. I suspect that they still do.
CNN can't get things straight, even where their depraved ideology is not in danger.

They’re taxing whisky in Scotland. It’s been tried before. I wonder if anyone has really thought this scheme through?

Certain jurisdictions in Canada (BC and Ontario) have government run liquor boards that essentially do what Scotland does.
For example, wine imported from France that was imported at $1.00 a bottle - the store owner cannot sell it at $10 as he wished but MUST price it at $19.
