A tonic wine launched in Glasgow has had a complaint against it upheld for "causing serious offence".
King William Fortified Wine was created by Belcondie as a direct competitor to Buckfast and launched across Glasgow and the west of Scotland, but creators said they were unconcerned about any potential backlash.
However, a complaint by a member of the public has now been upheld by the the alcohol industry's Independent Complaints Panel. The panel said "in some communities" King William of Orange could be intrinsically linked to sectarianism, especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland", the Scottish Daily Express reports.
