West Country Cider Producers Fear For Industry After Budget Tax Hike

GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - MARCH 25: Frank Naish, Britain's oldest cider maker samples some of the cider he pressed this year at his farm in West Pernard near Pilton on March 25, 2010 in Somerset, England. The 86-year-old, who has been involved in organic cider-making on the farm since the 1930s, said they had received a number of orders from customers wanting to buy in bulk ahead of the tax hike. Many cider makers are saying that the ten percent rise in duty announced in yesterday�s budget could cause huge damage to their industry and also to the wider rural economy.
