Hundreds of wine and spirit shops are to begin filming their customers in an effort to stop the under 16s buying beer and wine, website nu.nl reports on Thursday.

Members of the wine and spirits shop association say they are so pleased with the results of a trial using cameras that the experiment will be rolled out nationwide.
Photos taken of customers by a remote-controlled camera are scanned by staff at a control centre in Breda. If a customer is deemed too young they will be turned away. If there is reason to doubt their age, they will be asked for ID, nu.nl says.
Customers who refuse to be filmed will not be allowed to buy anything.
Nu.nl does not say why wine shop owners cannot simply ask for ID without resorting to camera images, nor what criteria staff will use to determine if a customer is too young.
