"The consumer will not notice any difference in the stores, no rise in price will occur. This is purely technical correction, due to the fact that there is a problem with organizations, when the difference in the price of one ruble for drinks by a fortress close to 37-38-40 degrees, leads to the fact that they can lose their license out of court. It is very difficult to understand the range and what is different, sometimes the stores make mistakes and put the price on the ruble more or less. To simplify the control and life of market participants, we decided to combine a number of minimum prices into one line, "Shapkin said.
At the same time, the expert added that "it is worth combining all the minimum prices for alcoholic beverage production regardless of the fortress and install one."
According to him, this would be effective from the point of view of control.
August 20 in Russia comes into force the order of the Ministry of Finance, which fixes the minimum retail price for vodka at 205 rubles per bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters.
In accordance with the order, this price also applies to "weak" vodka, whose strength ranges from 37% to 39%.
