England currently considers an ‘alcohol-free’ drink as one containing less than 0.05% ABV – differing from a number of other countries that use 0.5% ABV as the definition. A public consultation is now seeking views on whether to raise the threshold for 'alcohol free' to 0.5% ABV.

UK officials have launched a public consultation on increasing the alcohol by volume (ABV) threshold for drinks to be considered alcohol free from 0.05 per cent to 0.5 per cent.
More people could be encouraged to purchase alcohol-free drinks under government proposals to make alternatives to alcoholic drinks more widely available.
