Crippling duty hikes’ to raise prices for 90% of wines sold in UK
Alcohol in the UK is about to get a lot more expensive as wine duty is set to increase by 20% and spirits duty by over 10%.
Alcohol duty will be unfrozen on 1 August and all alcohol will be taxed by strength, meaning higher ABV drinks will be taxed more heavily, leading to price rises for 90% of wines sold in the UK.
