The Government has published plans to remove what it calls "unnecessary" red tape impacting wine producers and importers.
The Environment Secretary Therese Coffey claims Brexit has provided the opportunity to help British vineyards thrive.
But as Laura Bundock explains, many producers and traders think the new rules could in fact lead to the British brand being tarnished.

[London Kyodo] 31 days marks three years since the UK completely left the European Union (EU) in December 2020. The Conservative government, which pushed for withdrawal, broke away from the EU's single market and aimed for Britain's own version of ``strong prosperity.'' However, the economy continues to experience slow growth, and in a recent opinion poll, more than half of respondents said that leaving the country was a mistake. Although there are many voices wishing for a return to power, it is an issue that has the potential to divide voters, and opposition parties are also negative.
According to research firm YouGov, since the end of July 2022, the percentage of people who regret leaving has consistently exceeded 50%. In December of this year, 55% of respondents said that leaving the EU was a mistake, while only 33% said it was the right thing to do.

The government has accused businesses importing goods from the EU of making “deliberate” and “criminal” errors on key documentation in a bid to avoid new Brexit border charges.
In a notice sent out to traders this week, the government said it had been made aware that some traders and logistics companies were repeatedly filling out forms incorrectly, and vowed to crack down on the behaviour. It comes just weeks after the government brought in new checks for plant and animal goods coming into Britain from the EU.
The new rules, which took effect on 30 April, require certain products to be checked at border posts across the country, with importers charged at varying rates depending on the type of product they bring in.
However, the government has said that some businesses are failing to adhere to the rules and are making “continuous and/or deliberate” errors, seemingly to avoid checks and additional import costs.
The notice said deliberate misdeclarations on forms were a criminal offence and port health authorities would be actively looking for such behaviour and taking action if evidence is found.
Under the new border rules, products are categorised as low, medium or high risk. Low-risk products require no checks at all, medium-risk products receive some checks, and high-risk goods even more.
