From the 2nd of March, Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol will come into effect in Wales.
The policy, which has shown positive outcomes in Scotland, aims to tackle alcohol-related harm and death.
MUP is designed to reduce the amount of low cost, high strength products.
Although the law enabling the Welsh Government to set a minimum unit price was passed on 9 August 2018, there have been delays to the introduction of MUP due to objections from Portugal, who argued it breached European free trade law by discriminating against imported alcohol products.
