The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has launched a digital guide - Food and drink businesses: working with the EU. It covers the key actions food and drink businesses may need to take after the end of the transition period.
The guide will host the most up to date guidance for wine producers and traders, with changes and additions made as further information is confirmed.
Any additional enquires relating to the EU VI-1 process should be directed to Defra at wine.exports@defra.gov.uk.
