Ministers seeking wine redefinition

Ministers want to redefine "wine" to include drinks that contain little or no alcohol as part of efforts to tackle the harm caused by overconsumption.

The Government wants the minimum strength of still wine to be reduced from 8.5% to 4.5% alcohol-by-volume (ABV), about one-third the strength of many typical table wines, and has promised to step up efforts to rewrite the relevant European Union rules.
