Well, I thought, this actually is a good thing that we have done post Brexit.

Then I read this bit, tucked away near the end of the story.

Quote

The EU relaxed its rules on the definition of low-alcohol wine in late 2021 - a change that did not apply in the UK because it copied over EU laws after it officially left in 2020.

So, because of Brexit, we are two years late with this.
