Majestic Wine is set to order over one million bottles of wine from Europe as a contingency plan for a no deal Brexit.
Majestic Wine is the UK’s largest specialist wines retailer. They recently announced plans to release their half-year results. They showed that trading was tough.
The Brexit preparations will see the company bring in additional wine bottles to the value of £8 million.
Majestic’s Chief Executive Rowan Gromley, told Sky, "I think if there is likely to be any kind of issue it will be disruption in ports and we had a sort of semi-serious conversation about laying a wine pipeline under the sea, but in the end we thought we'd just get a bit more stock in and play safe."
Other companies that have announced that they will be stockpiling include Premier Foods and Cadbury.
