UK to scrap post-Brexit import certificates for wine
Traders had warned decision by London to maintain EU requirement after leaving bloc would cause lasting damage
...The UK and EU wine trade were dismayed when London announced it would maintain the VI-1 form after leaving the bloc and extend it to wines from EU countries such as France, Italy and Spain, albeit after a six-month grace period...
“The government spent the past seven months digging a deeper and deeper hole for itself by pretending the industry wanted VI-1s to maintain quality,” said Daniel Lambert, a wine merchant who has lobbied against the certificates.
“I really don’t know why because this is the first real identifiable Brexit dividend . . . this really is huge for the wine trade,” Lambert said, predicting that the EU would also now move to scrap the certification requirements.
