The UK government has said it had dropped its plan to start selling in imperial measures after a consultation revealed 99% support for keeping the metric system.
English wine can actually be quite good. It’s only made in relatively small quantities though.
Be aware that English (or Welsh) wine is different from “British”. English wine is made with English grapes, and is fairly ‘artisan’. British wine is made from imported grapes, and is generally low price, low quality.
Why the hell even they would want to sell by the pint is a mystery to me however. Standardisation makes their lives easier, and their costs lower.

I once had a bottle of fortified British wine. 20yrs later I can still remember the taste of the vomit. :(
