Supermarket shelves could be left empty of wine this summer, as factory workers at a major bottling company plan a strike.
More than 200 workers in Bristol are planning to strike over pay and collective bargaining between June 19 and July 5 - in a move which could leave shoppers scrambling for wine.
The Unite members at the Avonmouth site work across different areas, including bottling and packaging red, white, rose and sparkling wine and distributing it from warehouses.
Encirc supplies all the major supermarkets with wine, which is the most popular alcoholic drink in the UK.
According to Unite, Encirc is a 'very profitable company' with a turnover of over £600M, supplying all the big supermarkets with bottles, boxes and bags of wine.
