Wetherspoons is ditching champagne for Brexit sparkling wine – the only responses you need

Everyone’s favourite pub chain Wetherspoons has said it will replace champagne with sparkling wines next month as part of a drive to stop selling EU-sourced drinks in the run-up to Brexit.

German brewed beers are also off the menu after its founder Tim Martin said he was ‘starting to make the transition to non-EU trade now’.

People had lots of questions, as you can imagine, and here are our favourite responses to this momentous moment online.

Oh please. Wetherspoons is just trying to avoid tariffs on alcohol and dressing it up as pro-British.

This is particularly inconvenient because many of the Britain-hating, Remoantard champagne parties are hosted at Wetherspoons. https://t.co/RE1aRJfJMg
