That was bloody expensive for 1965! Even in 1970 Wilson's bitter was only 2/- in the Brit at Irlam's o'th' Height. Mild was a penny cheaper.

Graham: note the exchange rate. In English money (sound of Scotsman spitting) the price was only three and a third pence. Here are some other prices from the same year, all in Scottish money:

Ale, 7d. the pint
Tallow, 18s. the stone
Candle, 1s. 2d. the pound
The four pence loaf to weigh sixteen ounces.

So the pint of wine cost about the same as 6 pints of ale.
