sales have fallen by five percent over the last two years, while sales of certain wines have risen.The Independant reports
Rosé or blush, which was once seen as a rather unfashionable drink among wine buffs, has seen sales rise an astonishing 188 per cent since 2005. Meanwhile, the cider over ice phenomena, spearheaded by Magners and Bulmers, has led to a 14 per cent increase in cider volume sales over the past two years. . .
