Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it is the Government's policy that UK citizens returning with purchased wine from the EU will have to pay (a) £2 duty on wine that they have bought in bulk direct from vineyards and have bottled themselves before returning to the UK and (b) a reduced corkage fee instead once the UK has left the EU.

Currently individuals can bring back wine into the UK from other EU Member States without being charged excise duty, as long as the wine is only for their personal consumption. The UK’s excise rules following EU Exit and the end of the Implementation Period remain subject to negotiation.
