All nonsense, the Remainers assured me there would be no having cake and eating it, no 'picking of the cherry', that we would be punished and suffer a great decline, that we hold no cards and nothing the EU wants from us, that they would easily replace our market with mysterious un-tapped other markets.

Madness indeed, these people have somehow managed to conclude that a Brexit Britain turning it's face globally is somehow....... inward looking!


Bonkers.


These die hard Remainers simply do not understand what Brexit is all about, so rigidly closed are their minds.

Champagne producers blame Brexit for 2016 sales decline

Sales of champagne fell last year as a weaker pound weighed on British demand in the wake of the Brexit referendum vote, France's main champagne industry body said on Monday.
Sales to Britain, still the biggest export market by volume, fell 8.7pc to 31.2 million bottles, the CIVC industry association said. By value, British exports tumbled 14pc to €440m (£381.16m).

Plan to allow Brits to remain EU citizens is gaining support

The idea of ‘associate citizenship’ of the EU was first mooted in November by Charles Goerens, a liberal MEP from Luxembourg.
Although slightly vague on fine detail, His plan would guarantee rights, such as residency, to people who pay a fee.

The EU member states, which would need to back the idea, could vote on it some time this year.
Guy Verhofstadt, who will represent the European Parliament in the Brexit talks, signalled his support for the associate citizenship idea last year

And yet what the British press doesn't tell you is that indeed the British market tumbled, but that's because Britons are poorer (weaker currency) and instead are switching to Italian Prosecco (+34%).

The 8.7% decline from the British market only translated in turnover for 2016 down by only 0.6% (I suppose that's why there's no panic). Other markets are growing United States: (+4.9%), Japan (+3%), and in Europe (Germany: (+3.4%), Netherlands: (+6.3%). Spain: (+1.3%) Italy (+6.4%) and Northern Europe (+3.5%)).

So yeah, I guess you could say that Europeans (the French at least) are replacing that market.
