Once again this evening I got asked why the UK doesn’t stop buying wine from the EU and replace that with ROW wines. So please understand the follow facts and your understand the answer.
1) The uk consumes 12M bottles per day, but the the UK produces 12M bottles per year, of which most of this is expensive sparkling wine.
2) currently 66% of this daily volume comes from the EU the rest is from ROW.
2) currently 66% of this daily volume comes from the EU the rest is from ROW.
3) ROW are mostly at production capacity and sell most of there volume annually. So to change the demographics would be challenging and requires global cooperation.
4) on this factual basis we need the EU equally, and pretend that’s not the case is a nonsense when it comes to wine and the UK market. Now is there anything I missed. Oh Brexit was never going work when it comes to the global wine trade. Fact.
Here is a really helpful graphic that the @FT did to make it really easy for everyone to get the point loud and clear. So please do RT and maybe we can stop this myth about replacing EU wine with ROW wine. Its not possible. 
hey @pmdfoster seems everyone is liking your graphic on its second outing!!
