Cheers to that 🥂

‘Complex’ post-Brexit tax rules means price rises for UK wine drinkers.

There is still time to put a stop to the costly and unnecessary red tape

We're calling on the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to cut #wine & #spirit duty at the #Budget on March 6th.

A cut to alcohol duty =
✂️ a much needed boost for British Businesses
✂️ more revenue to the Exchequer
✂️ & helps keep prices down for consumers

Bring down alcohol inflation

Calling all WSTA members who want to tell HM Treasury how the alcohol duty hikes have impacted their business 📢

Great to see so many businesses supporting the call for HM Treasury to cut alcohol duty 👏

#wine lovers are continuing to face rising prices and reduced choice, while at the same time less revenue is going into the Treasury. It just doesn't make sense 🤦‍♀️

The WSTA warns against duty increase ahead of spring budget #CrushTheRedTape

Interesting read on English wine from Victoria Moore The Telegraph

Let's hope English wine makers can continue to go from strength to strength🥂

GOV.UK can support our talented wine makers by making #wine tax fairer & keeping prices down for consumers.

Industry welcomes alcohol duty freeze as ‘a huge relief’ 🍷🥂🧊

What a relief for wine drinkers 🍷🥂🙌 Jeremy Hunt

A second duty rise would have pushed the average price of a bottle of red wine to over £8 for the first time. Keeping prices down boosts sales and increases revenue to the Exchequer.

#WineDrinkersUK #wine #AutumnStatement

The overall drop in inflation is positive news bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-6…

BUT wine and spirits have seen a nearly triple digit increase in inflation in the last 3 months.

Increasing duty yet again would further fuel inflation, undermining the Government’s overall aim #FreezeDuty

Fears grow for second wine duty rise in less than a year - Harpers Wine & Spirit Trade News 😩harpers.co.uk/news/fullstory…

Not again!

🍷What does GOV.UK have against wine drinkers?
