Vinarchy UK Hit with £8 Million Packaging Tax

The Drinks Business reports that Vinarchy UK has been charged at least £8 million under the Extended Producer Responsibility packaging regime in 2025, a levy that applies across materials including glass and to UK businesses with turnover of at least £1 million that handle more than 25 tonnes of packaging a year. The report adds that revenue fell to £422 million from £461 million, while pre-tax losses narrowed to £6.4 million from £103 million, with chief executive Danny Celoni saying the combined business is still performing in line with profit expectations.
