As previously reported by the Evening Times, fans of Buckfast were left reeling this week amid claims the alcohol content in the popular tonic wine was set to be slashed by over half.
A seemingly genuine social media post from makers J Chandler & Co broke the news on about changes to the alcohol amount, which is currently at 15 per cent.
Stewart Wilson, sales manager at J.Chandler, later assured drinkers: “Following a false statement which was issued on social media, we can confirm that we are NOT changing our recipe or our alcohol content.”
