Right now I have seen the duty changes itβs clear this not good news. Most still wines especially new world range at 13% to 15%. So in effect these will not only be more difficult to declare but certainly more expensive with at least 50p on a bottle before vat.
The for fizz these mostly come down but again your find that most fizz is around 12.5%. So the reduction here is considerably less that the increase on Still wines.
Now when you look at actually sales of all wine still out sells fizz around 4 to 1. I am sure someone will quote the exact difference. So in actual fact the wine trade has just seen a massive increase across the board on what people actually consume.
