The spirits industry has been calling on the government to freeze alcohol duty over the next few years, however it appears these pleas have fallen on deaf ears

Alcohol duty will increase again on 1 February, making it harder for distillers to keep their businesses afloat. We're proud to support the @drinks_trust's campaign, raising £1m to support 1 in 5 hospitality industry workers facing financial crisis in 2025.
The Autumn Budget was a broken promise to #BackSpirits and discriminated against our industry.
Even 88% of publicans know a penny off a pint won’t make a jot of difference to rising costs and a duty hike. After all, pubs are more than pints👇

Pubs are more than pints. Spirits make up 1/3 of all alcohol sales in hospitality across the UK.
@hmtreasury’s decision to hike alcohol duty on spirits is yet another kick in the teeth for this iconic British industry, which continues to be discriminated against #BackSpirits
Since last year’s tax hike on spirits, 1 in 4 publicans know a distiller that’s gone out of business.
To support British jobs and give the public something to cheer, the Government must #BackSpirits and reverse the hike in this Budget.

"Distilleries are warning about “gin-flation” as the cost of producing spirits soars"
👇 Our piece in the @EveningStandard today on the eve of the #SpringBudget calling for a duty to spirits duty, in order to protect Britain's world-famous hospitality sector.
One-third of alcoholic drinks sold in hospitality settings are spirits. @Jeremy_Hunt must choose to back the spirits sector at tomorrow's #SpringBudget.

Good on @Ballykilcavan for talking about the multi-national elephant at the festival. This is common practice I am afraid, lots of PR BS about local, but in the end money talks and small producers get shafted
"We’re calling on politicians across all parties to join us at this difficult time for the industry in backing British spirit makers."
Ahead of the August 1st spirits tax hike, MPs @charlotte2153 and @SarahAthertonMP have come together across party lines to stand with the spirits industry. https://t.co/i9j2dX58OV
MPs from all sides of the house regularly come together to #BackSpirits so why can’t the Chancellor?
In 2019 the Government promised “ensure that our tax system is supporting British drink producers”, but the duty rise on 1 August does the opposite.
Chancellor, think again, and #BackSpirits
Happy #WorldGinDay!
