Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her Department has taken to promote English wine exports.

I refer my Hon. Friend for Arundel and South Downs to the answer I gave him on 19 October 2020, UIN: 101331. My Department continues to work hard to negotiate free trade and continuity deals across the world, which will benefit sectors such as English and Welsh wine and are widely supported by industry including the Wine & Spirit Trade Association and WineGB. Going forward, we plan to support wineries at major international events in the US, Germany and Japan and will connect wineries with international influencers and buyers.
