What makes us the best importers of wine in Wales? The simply answer is the wines we sell. But it’s not me saying this, it’s a host of professional tasters. Here is a thread of reviews from the talented Tamlyn Currin as she tastes our wines for JancisRobinson.com

I have said everything there is to say about just how bad the removal of easement is, and it will have a catastrophic effect on both on and off wine sales in the UK. Everyone in industry agrees. But this issue has revealed a fundamental problem within the trade.
The trade itself does not act with one voice. Many look to the WSTA but sadly (and I do mean this) it’s very unfortunate their lobbying is not working. Then you have a few lone voices like mine and others who bang the drum, but equally not have much effect.
The government policy is not fully understood by members of the trade still and the implications not realised, let alone the public who to be honest will not have the first idea what’s going on. To change this whole situation is challenging at best.

Since 2021 I have consistently and regularly reminded people in the UK Wine industry that the Prohibitionist plan to seriously disrupt, and to an extent, destroy the UK wine industry needs to be taken seriously. It’s SME that will feel most of the pain. Here is why…
The policy was created in 2019 and goes under the guise of taxing all alcohol on strength rather than volume. It was written deliberately, by the anti alcohol think tank, to maximise disruption to the largest sector in the UK this being Wine.
Please don’t mis-understand this is not about the amount of tax paid but how that collection of tax is administered. This simple point is being missed by so many people and because it is difficult to understand unless you work on the front line is why the policy has got this far.

I think it’s time for a reminder of the reason why you the consumer are continually screwed over by the elites in the UK. As a front line business to border controls I see the direct effect of Brexit daily. But they’re not finished with this shit show. So here we go…
Firstly the actual vote was advisory and therefore did not have all the normal restrictions applied, but even so the electoral commission advised the result was unsafe and illegal. But that doesn’t matter because Cameron ran away only to get a peerage 6 years later.
Then Brexit happened with with a terrible deal just 7 days before implementation. Nobody really had time to react to get all their ducks in a row. 16 days after Brexit the head of HMRC called me to apologise for the EU tariff code U110 not being applied to the import portal.

As a member of the wine trade for over 33 years and a business owner for all of that time I have seen a dramatic change over the decades. But yesterday news on the tax take was quite incredible. Here is why and why you should be concerned.
The tax receipts for Alcohol were as follows as reported by HMRC and posted yesterday by @GavinQuinney.

Between Sept ‘23 & Aug ‘24, year-on-year receipts were:

◦£1.3bn lower overall
◦Wine: £238m lower
◦Spirits: £757m lower
◦Beer: £320m lower
◦Cider: £24m lower
So why have they dropped by over £1.3 BILLION?, well the simple answer is the dreadful Alcohol Reform Policy that @RishiSunak brought in during 2022. At the time I warned it would damage the drinks industry, I was right.

I’m a pretty patient guy. On the 23rd April I asked a really basic question to my MP. I asked the same question to the previous government several times earlier. The question was this…
Will you remove or keep the wine excise easement after February 2025? This is a simple yes or no question. It not loaded in any way. Now I’m not being funny but a question this simple does not take much time to understand and answer.
But its now nearly September and I still have not been given an answer. That’s quite significant for me and the wine industry in the UK because it works around 6-9 months ahead of time for the supply chains.

Here is a little thread about how the world sees the uk. I’m currently in Mexico at a global wine event. The hospitality and welcome that has been shown to all the delegates is incredible. But the one point that everyone I have spoken to is that Brexit has isolated the UK.
At this event there are 45 nationalities in attendance from all over the world 🌎. There are a total of 330 trade professionals in total. So it’s a very solid group to get a global view. I’ve spoken to many people thus far & that been amazing. The wine trade is a global village.
The comments from everyone has been the same regarding the UK, why did the UK leave such an important trading block and this must be hurting your businesses and economy badly.
