South Wales-based wine importer Daniel Lambert challenged an MP to a radio debate on the benefits claimed for “pints of wine”. Will he do it?

Industry experts are warning that wines are ‘up £3 a bottle’ since the UK’s departure from the bloc.

"The UK used to be one of the best places in the world to drink wine. Now it is fast becoming one of the worst."

This week I was contacted by a retired CEO of a major wine wholesaler. They, unbeknownst to me, had asked their local MP John Penrose (Weston-super-Mare, Somerset) if he thought it was acceptable that my wine business had been obliged to open a site in the EU to mitigate Brexit costs.

'We are not the envy of the world anymore, we are the crackpot aunty in the corner that everyone laughs at.'

A British wholesaler who supplies the UK retail market is moving his business to the South of France in order to mitigate Brexit redtape, which he says has cost his business £150,000.

In just one week I will finally leave Brexitland for good. Let me know if anyone ever finds those sunlit uplands. Not expecting an answer anytime soon.

Extra import controls will be ‘impossible’ for small businesses, says food industry chief.
