UK: Red alert: Drinkers face higher tax on stronger wines to tackle binge drinking
Oct 26, 2011
(Dailymail) - Bottles of wine with the highest levels of alcohol may be taxed under Government plans to reduce our drinking levels.
Public Health minister Anne Milton said the levy, recently introduced for super-strength lager, had already forced industry bosses to drop alcohol strength to get below the duty level.
She raised the possibility it could lead to price hikes on other drinks to encourage the same effect.
Speaking to MPs yesterday, she said the Department of Health was in ‘ongoing discussions’ with the Treasury about how price changes could encourage safer drinking, and said taxing super-strength alcohol was a ‘move in the right direction’.
