CALORIE LABELS FOR BEER, WINE AND SPIRITS CONSIDERED BY UK GOVERNMENT
Feb 4, 2013 6
(TheDrinksBusiness) - Bottles of wine, beer and spirits could soon display the amount of calories they contain under new Government plans to discourage people from binge drinking. According to public health minister Anna Soubry, officials have been in talks with the drinks industry about the possible inclusion of calorie content on labels.
Ministers are hoping that displaying the calorie content in beers, wines and spirits could encourage those who are watching their weight to drink less.
Most manufacturers already include information on units of alcohol on labels in a voluntary agreement with the Government.
