Some of our favourite beverages have been discontinued after having been determined to be 'undesirable' under NSW liquor legislation
Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) considers alcoholic versions of soft-drinks and liquor products which reference confectionary and dessert products to be a high-risk of being attractive to minors.
Due to this likely appeal, an agreement has been reached with two Australian beverage manufacturers to cease the supply of the products to NSW.
The affected products are:
Hard Solo
Within the Billson's Premixed Vodka range: Musk, Lamington, Cake, Banoffee, Pavlova, Lemon Meringue, Berry Jelly, Turkish Delight and
Pink Clouds.
We are staying tuned to see what Victoria does in relation to these laws, yet regardless, we will not be able to sell those items in NSW.
Other Billson's products affected are:
Toffee Apple (discontinued); Fairy Floss (discontinued); Lemonade popsicle (changed to Lemon Splash); Tropical Punch (changed to Tropical); Grape Bubblegum (changed to Grape Burst); Rainbow Sherbet (changed to Retro Fizz); Fruit Tangle (changed to Tangle);
Creamy Soda (changed to Creamy).
Has your favourite flavour been affected by this determination?
