Consumers want alcohol warning labels.
25 May, 2010 | by Retail Bulletin
More than half of adults questioned in a YouGov Sixthsense survey want tougher health warnings to be printed on alcoholic drinks labels.
The report also revealed that people were increasingly veering from traditional pubs to gastro pubs and restaurant-style outlets.
“The on-trade model for selling alcohol in the UK has steadily shifted away from the old boozer, dominated by beer drunk in long ‘sessions’, towards the modern pub-restaurant, often sharing characteristics with the Continental café or brasserie,” said James McCoy, YouGov SixthSense research director.
