LOW-ALCOHOL WINE

Early day motion 123, tabled 7 November 2007 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House welcomes the work of alcohol producers and retailers in seeking to provide lower alcohol wines for customers; recognises the important role this can play in giving wine consumers greater choice; and calls upon the Government to ask the European Commission to remove prohibitions against reverse osmosis or spinning cone technology used to reduce alcohol, which are widely used in other wine-making countries and which present no threat to consumer health.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 7, Conservative 6, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
