Aintree Racecourse Unveils 2025 Grand National Drinks Pricing
It's that time again where the annual Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecourse gears up to welcome guests with both thrilling races and, less thrilling perhaps, premium beverages. With the release of the 2025 drinks pricing, attendees might start saving up well in advance. From Opening Day to Ladies Day, and the climax on Grand National Day, the racecourse's drinks menu promises variety but at a price.
Let's break down what you'll be paying for your drinks. For those who enjoy a pint, prepare for a cost ranging from £7.40 for familiar names like Carling and Worthington’s, to £7.80 for a taste of Guinness or Carling Black Fruits. Seems like the pints are standing tall in price but are they worth their weight in gold? Only your taste buds can decide.
If spirits are more your style, a 25ml measure will set you back £6.75, whether your preference is the crispness of Gordon’s London Dry Gin, the unmistakable edge of Smirnoff Vodka, or the classic bite of Jack Daniel’s. Rum lovers aren't left in the cold either, with Morgan’s White Rum and Southern Comfort on offer.
Wine, Champagne, and More: The Higher-End Options
Wine, that ever-popular racecourse staple, is also making a pricey appearance. A 187.5ml glass of house red, white, or rosé comes in at £9.50, while a full bottle demands £37.50. Not quite toast-worthy if you were hoping for bargains. And if you’re looking to splash out, champagne and sparkling wine prices soar with Bernard Remy Brut NV priced at a hefty £85, and Canal Grando Prosecco Extra Dry at £46. Cheers indeed!
But what about those avoiding alcohol or looking for a lighter option? Non-alcoholic choices range from Madri 0% alcohol at £4.30 to London Essence tonic water at £3.10, while Coke Zero and Diet Coke make an appearance for £3.20. As always, fruit juices and mixers remain a steady option priced at £2.80.
The consistent theme across the festival? Prices that don't dip below £7.40 for a good ol’ pint. So as preparations commence for the 2025 Race, attendees might contemplate whether to splurge on a few drinks or perhaps bring that winning bet ticket to back it up.
