The WSTA welcomes media enquiries on all industry issues. We have statistics on UK wine imports and tax in the Data Hub section of our website. Briefings on industry activities and WSTA policies are available via the Public Affairs section of the site.
Our policy work is extensive, on a wide range of social, regulatory and technical issues. The wine and spirit industry is eager to play its part in the UK’s economic growth and we aim to shape an environment in which our sector can increase investment and remain competitive.
Regulation is one of the biggest barriers to growth any business can face. We strive to ensure that regulation -whether at an international, national or local level− does not threaten the sector’s viability. Another key part of building a sustainable future for the industry is fostering a culture in which our products are enjoyed responsibly. We are committed to working in partnership with the UK Government and other stakeholders to deliver this.
In an evolving landscape of policy, regulation, and consumer behaviour, WSTA’s research helps members to stay informed on emerging trends.
Through a range of publications available on the WSTA Data Hub, including the WSTA Market Report, which provides a comprehensive view of alcohol sales trends in the off-trade and on-trade GB market, members gain access to valuable insights.
WSTA also runs the Insights Lab, a member-led committee that discusses market and consumer trends.
The WSTA works to create an environment in which UK wine and spirit business can thrive.
