Food is becoming more and more expensive.
In a Viennese café, an apple spritzer now costs six euros.
This annoys an organic farmer in particular.
Vienna – Food is currently becoming more and more expensive.
Regardless of whether it is a visit to a restaurant or a purchase in the supermarket - food prices are rising.
So much so that a supermarket in Great Britain now protects its cheese with an anti-theft device.
In other countries, too, the price increases are apparently reaching new heights: in Austria, a normal apple juice is now said to be sold for six euros in a Viennese café.
Café shocked with price hammer: apple spritzer now costs six euros
As reported by the Austrian news platform
Today
, non- alcoholic beverages in particular are now more than 30 percent more expensive in Austria.
Apparently, the guests in a café in Vienna in particular feel this.
There, a 0.5 liter apple spritzer is said to cost six euros!
What is particularly surprising: According to the online newspaper, the apple spritzer on offer is a completely normal brand and is not, for example, certified organic.
In this case, the price would be justified, at least for one organic farmer, whom

interviewed: "It depends on what kind of apple juice it is.
If it's a really good naturally cloudy organic apple juice from the meadow orchard, then I'll pay for it, otherwise it's a disaster," the 41-year-old clarified to the newspaper.
"But if that's a cheap concentrate, I, as a farmer, don't understand it."
Prices are also rising at Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Edeka and Co.
In the near future, another basic food item is set to become significantly more expensive.
"Much too expensive" - passers-by appalled by the café prices
Two other passers-by, on the other hand, had no understanding for the price in conversation with the online newspaper.
A 74-year-old said: "It's far too expensive for me.
I can buy two good coffees for that.” Another 50-year-old, on the other hand, decided that given the prices, it now makes more sense to just have a drink at home instead.
