There are some clear concerns over increased tariffs on #wine and #spirit products and the sector becoming collateral damage in non-industry related trade disputes 🍷🥃

Government changes to duty rates in August last year - including a near 50 year record hike in duty rates - has resulted in
FALLING sales
FALLING revenue to the Exchequer and
RISING inflation
Government is underming its own policy aims!
6 March #Budget2024 is the opportunity to make amends
UK inflation rises to 4% in December on.ft.com/3S3Idb5
A year ago alcohol inflation was 3.5%

It’s now c.3 times higher🍸🍷

Agree with @Ford on what #business needs
Government - and @RishiSunak himself - ABSOLUTELY forced UK drinks #consumers to pay 10-20% more in alcohol tax *alone* on 1 August
Where is the #consistency?
