I hope whoever is doing this is caught, and also breathalysed and possibly encouraged to seek appropriate treatment.

This really doesn't look like a business dumping empty #wine bottles as they would surely be different brands, but someone who is likely drinking far too much - maybe #flytipping the #wine bottles out of shame to hide their #alcohol habit from others (or else they would have put them in the #recycling container - which is allowed unlike down South where you can't put #glass in the bin)

What's worrying is they are very likely to have driven a motor vehicle to transport them..
