(Offlicencenews) - Inflation on wine and spirits has leapt up in the past month, according to the Office of National Statistics and the Wilson Drinks Report.
Inflation on wine increased from 2.4% in October to 6% in November, while inflation on spirits increased from 4.7% to 6.8%.
Meanwhile inflation on beer fell for the fifth month in a row.
WDR managing director Tim Wilson said: “Of course we welcome the overall drop in inflation from 5.2% in September to 4.8% in November. However the news is not so good for alcohol drinkers, as the rate of inflation on most types of drink continues to track above the All Items index.
