NOffLA informing producers on Irish excise

NOffLA will be lobbying the incoming government once again to reduce what it considers to be already outrageous excise duties on wine and on spirits and at the very least, to bring wine duties into line with beers and spirits excise.

Wine is presently in excess of these at €4.50 a bottle.

“We’re also letting producing countries know how much revenue is being taken and asking why is their product being treated differently from other categories,” NOffLA Chairman Gary O’Donovan told Drinks Industry Ireland.
