The largest increase in excise duty on wine in c.50 years, last August, has lead to a £436m reduction in duty paid September - January year on year! and an 9% increase in average wine prices. #CutDrinksDuty and keep the excise duty system, simple with a single duty level on wine.

A reminder ahead of the #budget that the UK #wine trade faces huge new complexity next year
