BWS 38: New Duty Rates On Alcohol

We are super excited to say that our new shipment of Muscadet has finally arrived.  Brexit still manages to put obstacles in the way of shipping delicious wines, but these hurdles have been jumped and the wines are now in stock.  This prompted us to record a chat about Muscadet, the region, how it is made, the different styles of wines and some food matches. Let's support the great independent winemakers from this area by drinking more Muscadet.   FOLLOW US 👋 Twitter: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/twitter 👋 Instagram: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/instagram 👋 Facebook: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/facebook 👋 YouTube: https://www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/youtube 🎟️ EVENTS & TASTINGS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/tastings 📦  TO STOCK OUR WINES? www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/contact-us 📰 NEWS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/blogs/news 💷 CHARITY www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/crew-club 🤝 FRIENDS OF BUTLERS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/friends-of-butlers 😎 STOCKISTS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/stockists 📦  Click & Collect available 📦  Next Day Delivery £9.99 - FREE over £150 📦  Local Delivery £2.99 - FREE over £40 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butlers-wine-show/message

In this week's episode I asked Henry 15 random questions about wine, he had no idea what these were going to be. These are all things we get asked regularly and should help when understanding everything from how wine is made to how many bottles you'll need for a party.

This week we are having a frank and honest discussion about the new duty rates which come into play on the 1st August 2023. This is biggest single increase in almost 50 years and is making our lives even more difficult right now.  We discuss the impact this has on our business and hospitality as a whole. Not so fun but hopefully an informative listen.  FOLLOW US 👋 Twitter: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/twitter 👋 Instagram: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/instagram 👋 Facebook: butlers-winecellar.co.uk/facebook 👋 YouTube: https://www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/youtube 🎟️ EVENTS & TASTINGS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/tastings 📦  TO STOCK OUR WINES? www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/contact-us 📰 NEWS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/blogs/news 💷 CHARITY www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/crew-club 🤝 FRIENDS OF BUTLERS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/friends-of-butlers 😎 STOCKISTS www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk/pages/stockists 📦  Click & Collect available 📦  Next Day Delivery £9.99 - FREE over £150 📦  Local Delivery £2.99 - FREE over £40 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butlers-wine-show/message

The Pinot Noir grape variety. This is a wonderful grape that we feel everyone must like in some form. It makes some of the best wines in the world from Burgundy, California, New Zealand and of course Champagne and England.
