PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(21 November 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to support the domestic wine sector.

Asked by:
James MacCleary (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Government is committed to supporting the UK domestic wine industry which is one of the fastest growing agricultural sectors. This growth, in both the domestic and international markets, is testament to the high-quality wines being produced and the hard work and vision of those working in the sector.

Defra officials regularly engage with WineGB and producers to support the sector’s ambitions, drive growth and exports and find ways in which the Department can help support further expansion. Defra is considering possible reforms to the UK wine regulations to deliver better results for consumers and industry.
