Wondering why shelves are empty, look at these two images. We ordered at the beginning of August stock from Spain. It took 5 days pre Brexit. It took a month for the winery to get a collection. Despite all the doc being correct the stock is still in Germany. #BrexitReality
I have posted these images btw because it’s my stock being move from a supplier to my bonded warehouse. If I was able to show you tracking on our supermarket customers ( I am not for confidentiality reasons) it’s even worse with delays now at 3.5 months from order to delivery!
Final comment on this thread. I currently have over 45 pallets in transit from Europe coming to my bonded warehouse which will end up with indies all over the UK. For supermarkets we have over 100 pallets on order. None of this stock is on time. It’s 100% Brexit related delays.

Last week I put out, to a host of transportation companies, a tender to collect a container of wine from Austria. I need the stock be here in early November. One of them said they and I quote” the earliest we can get that back will be January”.
This would normal be a case of order week one delivery week two especially with full loads. What has actually happen with full loads and groupage is that this major mover of wine is taking an extra week each month. So now they work on order week one delivery week 10.
I have found a different transportation company that can do the job but it’s costing £500 more than it would have done 10 months ago. That’s a mixture of #Brexit, Covid and HGV shortages. My advice is buy what you want for xmas now as we have another Brexit road crash coming.

Despite progress & a few noticeable changes in wines laws such as Vi1 & now labelling as of yesterday, the elephant in the room is the ridiculous proposals of Organic wine importer certification & storage. @VictoriaPrentis do I really need to ask @CPJElmore meet with you?
Just so you understand @VictoriaPrentis, like Vi1 and Back labelling which were both unnecessary, so is an Organic Wine Importer certification. Moreover when your required to store organic wine separately from regular wine you really do have to question who wrote this nonsense.
Even more ridiculous is that fact that retailers don’t have to be registered into any system for organic wine retail. So @VictoriaPrentis I really think you should be looking at this urgently before you get another industry wide letter advising just how much this is not wanted.

As we enter August the #Brexit effect is now showing, in my industry at least, the permanent issues that we have to deal with. Here is my updated thread for my business in the wine industry. 1/25
It’s fair to say that Brexit has delivered very few positive outcomes to the wine trade, needless to say there are many more negatives which we now manage to the best of our abilities. 2/25
On the positive side, the end of the grey market and overseas online retailer has effectively ceased in U.K. because taxes and shipping has made the practice unsustainable verses regular U.K. retailers. 3/25

Ok I can see this HGV driver shortage is now grabbing all the headlines. Of course I advised on this about a month ago with @SarahOnTheNews on BBC Wales. So what really going on?
The fact is this driver shortage is totally avoidable and is directly coming from Government not letting FOM for EU drivers in the UK, because there not ‘skilled’. So they they have gone.
Moreover they don’t want to come to the UK, well can’t really blame them after making them all sit on a runaway for 5 days before Xmas.

A few weeks ago we sent our first export via our own customs declaration process. We thought we should try as we had everything in place since January but had not actually used the system. Wow we were wrong and its another level of utter crap.
So we have got just about imports sorted and have every type of import on a template now. That taken the best part of six months and still the system doesn’t run smoothly, and there is an issue with nearly every import. However exports…
So after doing our first import we got a P9 notice last week. This was to advise the export has not been cleared off the Chief system. Fair enough we thought. We shall clear it down. But this where the games start.

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
