They have been replaced with sparkling wines from the UK and Australia, E&J Brandy (the number two selling brandy in the USA), Black Bottle (the number one selling brandy in Australia) Strika, a herbal liqueur produced in England, and wheat beers from the UK.
Wetherspoon founder and chairman, Tim Martin, said: “This is a significant move by us and highlights our commitment to offering an excellent range of UK and world products, with the emphasis on quality and value for the two million customers who visit our pubs each week. All EU products have UK or non-EU replacements, often at equal or better quality and price.”
