    It's on a roundabout so is doubly at risk

    I always giggle when I look at the wine selection in british supermarkets. I think most of the selection falls under: coloured beverage with alcoholic content that resembles wine.

    The importing stuff is probably affecting the rich anyway...

    Seems like everyone in the importing / exporting business should start applying for those cyber jobs:

    Taking bets on how long before prices start going up in the UK for even the basic crap.

    There's fish, wine, anyone else on the list of potential cyber re-trainees? I have a feeling anyone dealing with anything remotely linked to importing is going the same path...

    “ 'A multiple pile-up in the fog': wine agent's fury at Brexit red tape

    Daniel Lambert blasts government and on Twitter castigates bureaucratic procedures

    A major British wine agent has described how his business is facing its biggest threat in 30 years because the government did not think through Brexit.

    Daniel Lambert who imports up to 2m bottles of wine a year for 300 retailers including supermarkets, said he is unable to import wine from the EU because of the complex and unworkable HM Revenue and Customs system, which requires companies to work out one of 10,000 different combinations to describe the product they want to import.

    “We were a pretty good little business, we were doing quite well, until Brexit came along,” he said.

    “While we knew Brexit would be a car crash we did not know it was going to be a multiple pile-up in the fog with fatalities,” he tweeted in a thread over the weekend that has resonated with thousands on Twitter

    “HM Revenue and Customs are being as helpful as they can be, but it’s not their fault they are civil servants. This is the government’s fault and they don’t give a tulip about business. Boris Johnson said ‘**** business’ and this is exactly what they are doing,” he said..“
