We’re sure you’d have seen the news and the increased tax that’s been put on cider during this years budget. The concern is that this will damage the smaller cider producers such as ourselves as it is us who tend to make the higher strength cider. Putting such companies out of business will do little to curtail binge drinking I’m sure, but will see a sad decline in one of the nations oldest traditions.

…and it you’re feeling flush, download a copy of the Wurzels song (only 79p on iTunes) –
I Am A Cider Drinker – a suitable anthem for the campaign I’m sure you’ll agree.

UPDATE: It looks Like George Osbourne’s Emergancy Budget will scrap the tax – great news!
