Chief executive Rowan Gormley said: “Our customers were telling us that they wanted simpler, clearer pricing, and an end to the six-bottle minimum.

“This new structure is part of our wider plan to reposition Majestic Wine to become the go-to destination for the best quality wines at the best prices. There are now no barriers to shopping at Majestic, the pricing structure is very straightforward and I’m sure our customers will see this as a great move.”
