What do sorbet, sherbet, and syrup have in common? They are all words that come to use from the old Arabic ‘sarab’ (’drink’) via medieval Latin. One more such word is shrub.


I like to give as much advance notice as I can of our projected prices for the year ahead. We are fortunate in that nearly all of the vinegar we’ll be selling in 2026 is already made and in barrels by now – so it’s easier for us to set prices ahead than it is for some others.
We will be increasing some of our prices with effect from 1st Jan 2026. There’s no way we can avoid that. Some things we can keep the same but others will be going up by 4 or 5%. Actually over the last 12 months most of our input costs have been fairly stable. But what has gone up significantly is the tax burden. Like all employers we have increased labour costs to pay in the form of National Insurance contributions. We also have the new Extended Producer Responsibility tax to pay on every bottle.
Rest assured, none of the price increase is ending up in our pockets – 100% of it is going to the taxman.
We will notify Trade customers individually of revised prices.
Any issues, please address them to:
