With the new tax regime set to take effect, wine retailers like Majestic Wine and Laithwaites are alerting customers to potential price increases due to looming changes in alcohol duty regulations.
As the new system increases the tax bands for wine from one to 30, it raises concerns for wine drinkers regarding the impact on quality, choice, and potential removal of favorite wines from shelves.
The Wine and Spirits Trade Association has highlighted that approximately 43% of wines will see a price increase once the 18-month easement period ends, putting consumer options at risk.
A collaborative campaign between wine sellers urges customers to contact their MPs, reflecting widespread concern over the administrative burdens and cost increases that may ultimately affect wine availability in the UK.
