The European Health Alliance on Alcohol (EHAA) welcomes the European Parliament's AGRI Committee vote on the Wine Package. MEPs reaffirmed support for the scientifically accurate term "reduced-alcohol," rejecting misleading descriptors like "low" or "light" for wines up to 6% ABV. This decision prioritizes public health and consumer protection, aligning with Europe's Beating Cancer Plan. EHAA calls on the Parliament to uphold this position.

Cancer Prevention Action Week 2025, led by World Cancer Research Fund, runs from 23 to 29 June and focuses on the link between alcohol and cancer. With around 17,000 alcohol-related cancer cases each year in the UK, the campaign aims to raise awareness, spark national conversations, and push for stronger policies, including mandatory cancer warnings on labels and a new National Alcohol Strategy for England.
