The WSTA produced a guide aimed at consumers wishing to invest in En primeur wines to advise of the checks they should make before investing in wine. The checklist is designed to protect buyers from the risk of wine fraud. Members are advised to reproduce this advice on their websites and/or use a link to the WSTA website.

It is not hyperbole to describe the UK’s decision to leave the European Union as probably the most significant geo-political event in Europe since the break-up of the former Soviet Union. Less than half of the current UK population was alive at the time of the UK’s accession when, together with Denmark and Ireland, we joined the six founding Member States of the European Community.

The wine and spirit industry takes its role in responsibly producing, distributing and retailing alcohol very seriously. Across the industry, the WSTA looks to co-ordinate and promote these efforts and lead the way in ensuring that our industry is both responsible and sustainable.
