MARKET MONITOR A graphic guide to the off-trade

Off-trade retailers may think they're being unfairly targeted with red tape, test purchases and stringent licensing conditions - but the on-trade thinks there's something much more sinister going on. Online on-trade auction site pubnclubsupermarket.com polled 100 of its members at random and found that 90% believe there is a co-ordinated strategy to drive consumers out of pubs and into the off-trade. What it didn't ask is who they think might be co-ordinating that strategy, and why.
