Wimbledon's price of Pimm's soars and pints of Stella reach ridiculous new heights

Wimbledon's price of Pimm's soars and pints of Stella reach ridiculous new heights Wimbledon gets underway on Monday with thousands of fans pouring into SW19, but they will have to dig deep into their pockets to indulge in alcoholic delights Tennis fans making their way to Wimbledon this year will need to dig deep into their wallets to keep themselves fed and hydrated. Fans will begin flooding into the All England Club on Monday, with defending champion Jannik Sinner taking to the court while Emma Raducanu was ruled out hours before the opening day. The price of a pint hasn't quite broken the £10 barrier yet, but it's getting dangerously close. Stella Artois is the lager on tap throughout the venue, with pints priced at £8.85. There is also a new limited edition strawberries and cream lager from the brewer - boasting a 3.4 per cent ABV compared to the 4.6 per cent of standard Stella - which will cost you £9.30 a pint. Further draught options are available, with Camden Eazy IPA and Camden Pale both priced at £8.90 a pint. Kopparberg cider comes in at the same price, while alcohol-free Stella is £8.30 a pint and a gluten-free alternative — available in a bottle rather than on draught - is priced at £7.90. Bottles of champagne could set them back well over £100, though there is some good news on the drinks front as free water refills are on offer for those who bring or purchase a reusable bottle. For those curious about specific champagne on offer, Lansons Le Black Creation Brut and Le Rose Creation Brut are both available, priced at £98 and £102 respectively per bottle. The Walled Garden bar also stocks Le White at a whopping £110.20. Fear not, however, if you're not quite feeling that extravagant - a half-bottle is on offer at either £53.55 or £57.95. A 20cl serving is also available, at £27.90 for Le Black or £31.35 for Le Rose. Cans of Uncommon Wine will set you back just over £10 each for 187ml, though certain bars offer by-the-glass options for slightly less. The most affordable we could find was £7.20 for a 125ml glass of Tempranillo, with other sizes and varieties also on the menu. For those opting for Pimm's No. 1 - the drink so closely associated with the Championships - you'll be parting with £13.45, which includes a reusable glass. That's more than £1 up from last year's price of £12.25. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

This year's special cocktail is the centre court cooler - described as a 'Collins style' drink - available in either a gin or alcohol-free version, both priced at £12.80. For those steering clear of alcohol, a range of soft drinks is available, from £2.90 for a Coca-Cola Zero to £4.45 for Oasis summer fruits. A reusable Evian water bottle can be bought for £5, entitling the holder to free refills at designated water stations throughout the grounds. Anyone spending an entire day at the venue will likely need to grab some food along the way. Over at gate 5, you'll find the sausage grill, where a pork or meat-free sausage will set you back £8.70, while the walled garden bar is surrounded by a food court offering everything from strawberries and cream to heartier fare. Options include Japanese chicken or rice bowls at the karaage stand, priced at £13.65. Fancy a fish finger sandwich? That'll cost you £14.50, while a portion of skin-on fries comes in at £5.50. Last year saw the price of strawberries and cream rise for the first time in over a decade. Costs are climbing again this year, up from £2.70 to £2.85.
