Why do wine standards inspectors visit traders and vineyards and keep a register?
Our inspectors are entitled to visit your premises to make checks on your stock and records if you import, ship or market wine sector products or grow grapes or make wine from fresh grapes grown in the UK. We keep a register of such traders to manage our programme of visits and keep the UK’s statistical record of area under vine, harvest and wine production. Further advice can be obtained by contacting your Regional Inspector.
