Would normally agree with you there... but also heard a gweilo-friend mutter that only about one-fifth & less of the population pay most (or any!) tax in HK, so he asserts the few $$$ saved off his drinks are well long due
And, as I'm partial to my usual tipple of red with meals, IF indeed prices drop per bottle, might (at long last!) 'upgrade' from the more mediocre sips.
BUT would really doubt what an eager wine & alc. industry rep said on RTHK-3 yesterday, that there'll be as much as 15%! passed on to end-users - Yeah right. In the short-term, will wee discounts on supermarket shelves really make much of a difference? Time... competition... will tell.
