Today’s alcohol #DutyReceipts, which show receipts in January lower for spirits, wine & beer than in January 2025, will come as no surprise to UK wine & spirits businesses who continue to see consumers spending less as a result of some of the highest excise duty rates in Europe.

Miles Beale, Chief Executive, The Wine and Spirit Trade Association comments on the alcohol duty increases announced at the Autumn Budget.

People like Ben at Puddingstone Distillery are more than just distillers - they're at the heart of their communities. That's why @campfiregin has joined calls for a complete excise duty freeze for spirits in tomorrow's Budget to protect jobs and investment.

[Campfire Gin @campfiregin]

Would love your support @TweetingCollins

[UK Spirits Alliance @SpiritsAlliance]

Across the country, MPs are backing their local distillers and championing the economic, cultural and community benefits of the UK spirits industry.

We're calling for the government to implement a complete spirits excise duty freeze in the Budget.

[UK Spirits Alliance @SpiritsAlliance]

Three in ten pubs say they may not survive another year if costs increase. Pubs are more than pints; if the Chancellor is serious about supporting them, she must freeze excise duty at the Budget.

Even as a small supposedly exempt business we are charged for the packaging our pallets of bottles arrive in. It’s not sustainable for us to absorb the cost but customers cannot afford the increases either if we were to pass them on @TweetingCollins

[WSTA @wstauk]

EPR fees are “extraordinarily high” 📈

Packaging tax fuels inflation

Staggered that our ICO fee has gone up £12 this year & for what for? To pay for staff salary increases? Another stealth tax on small business. No pay rise for us as business owners 😫 @TweetingCollins #DataProtection

[Campfire Gin @campfiregin]

@TweetingCollins Not forgetting the rising costs of spirits and wine due to 2 years of unnecessary alcohol duty hikes which are crippling producers.

[Campfire Gin @campfiregin]

@KitchenCroxley @RachelReevesMP She doesn’t seem to understand that business owners ARE also working people 🤦‍♀️ and that hospitality isn’t just pubs, it’s also those that are in the supply chain.

"The only way to break the cycle of tax duty increases depleting Treasury funds is to freeze excise duty."

Thank you @carolynharris24 for welcoming distillers @BrightonGin, @campfiregin, @MasonsGin, @iowdistillery, @rivetdistillery, @PenderynWhisky, @HalewoodSpirits, @AKDISTILLERYLTD to Parliament to showcase their craft.

[Campfire Gin @campfiregin]

@TheGinasium Aah thank you. Have a great Christmas and good luck with your barrel aging

[UK Spirits Alliance @SpiritsAlliance]

Not only are pubs and distillers taking the hit from the Tory's 10.1% duty hike, but the @hmtreasury has lost over £300m and counting. Ahead of the budget, UKSA members @campfiregin, @rivetdistillery and @thamesisdock have been making the case to reverse the hike.

#BackSpirits

[UK Spirits Alliance @SpiritsAlliance]

In @TweetingCollins maiden speech the new MP praised the enterprising spirit of gin distillers in Harpenden & Berkhamsted. We were delighted to welcome her to Puddingstone Distillery to meet @campfiregin founders Ben and Kate to discuss the UKSA Budget submission. #BackSpirits🍸

[Campfire Gin @campfiregin]

Today's ONS release shows that alcoholic drinks CPI is running at nearly three times the headline rate of 2.3%.

August's record duty increases continue to drive inflation.
