This wine guy needs to learn how to be ready to react to changes that happen in the market. Perhaps Tim Martin of Wetherspoons could give him some advice? That advice would be: "Become a tory donor. Not only would that give you a say in policy but you can also get cashed-up by pretending to know about producing PPE..." ...and so on.

Think of the raft of regulations that have been introduced over the last couple of decades ( an awful lot of them from the EU itself) Can you name any that are detrimental? Clue: think of all the raw sewage currently being released untreated into UK rivers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 Enthusiastic supporters of Brexit seem to struggle to come up with any tangible benefits but here's one which I'm sure we can all agree is fantastic news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better off buying a magnum of champagne ( 2.64 pints) which has been freely available for as long as I can remember!

How will the UK government persuade the French, Italian and German wine producers to release it in pint bottles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTaxPayer Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Boris Johnson 'Betrayed' the Fishing Industry to Get Brexit Done I wonder if Nigel Farage would agree with that. He seems reluctant to mention fishing these days which is surprising when one remembers the emphasis he put on the importance of the industry in relation to his Brexit ambitions.

That’s really dangerous for a live wine like champagne, or live bottle conditioned beer or ginger beer. Corks or crown corks only. To avoid exploding bottles.
