UK spirits verification scheme comes into force
A new scheme to protect regional alcoholic specialties from counterfeit and substandard competition has been launched in the UK. The Spirit Drinks Verification Scheme (SDVS) is designed to help consumers in the UK and abroad identify genuine Scotch whisky and other spirits of UK origin and avoid buying illicit products that could damage their health. The system – which has been in gestation for some time – was officially launched on January 10 by Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander.
