Further Memorandum from The Wine and Spirit
Trade Association (DDD 33a)
Regarding the Transport Select Committee evidence
session of 14 September 2010 on drink and drug driving, when the
issue of smaller glass sizes for wine and spirits was raised.
I wanted to make you aware that as part of the
Mandatory Licensing Conditions brought in by the Policing and
Crime Act 2009, it will be mandatory for on-trade premises to
make 125ml measures of wine (as well as the smallest measures
of other drinks) available and apparent to their customers. This
will come into force on 1 October 2010. We believe in full consumer
choice and support this measure to ensure that consumers are always
able to purchase the smallest drinks measures.
