WineGB’s response to the 2025 Autumn Budget Statement

WineGB's taken a swipe at the autumn Budget, calling out yet another alcohol duty hike that unfairly hammers domestic producers at a crucial moment for UK wine's global reputation. The trade body's frustrated that the Chancellor didn't help stimulate demand or tackle VAT and business national insurance, though they're pleased about the free apprenticeship scheme for under-25s in SME, reckoning it'll help bring fresh talent into the sector.
