Economic woe weighs on Heineken

Heineken has said economic woes were impacting sales across the UK and Western Europe after a weather-hit first half of the year.

The Dutch group, whose products include Foster's, Newcastle Brown Ale and John Smith's, said interim sales showed a marginal increase across Western Europe and were expected to remain "subdued" throughout the second half as the UK recession and eurozone crisis take their toll.
