Britain could face shortage of wine and spirits at Christmas, a drinks trade body has warned.
In a letter to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) said rising costs and supply chain chaos have held up deliveries.
Unless the BBC has invented or exaggerated the contents of the letter, I don't think they have done anything wrong - and if they didn't report it until the shortages were apparent, people would complain that they hadn't been warned!
