CHEERS! WE’LL HAVE PLENTY OF CHRISTMAS WINE, SAY MAJESTIC

THE Majestic wine store chain says its shelves “will remain full” for Christmas following a warning that bottles of alcohol could be missing from festive celebrations because of the HGV driver shortage.

The retailer, which has more than 200 stores across the UK, reassured customers it had 20 per cent more stock than last year. It follows the Wine and Spirits Trade Association (WSTA) writing to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps on Wednesday urging him to address the driver shortage.
