To boycott Aperol?

Aperol is part of the Campari group, which has subjected a decent guy, Steve, from the North East to a long court case for wanting to call his village microbrewery beer ‘’Dark Sky”.

(Campari produces a “Skyy” vodka and claimed people could be confused).

Also imo Aperol tastes grim unless you are on holiday, but that’s not the main reason here).

Here is Steve:

Who DO these companies think they are?

I suggest boycotting Aperol as no one under 85 yrs drinks Campari anyway.

Village microbrewery wins battle with drinks giant over its name

Regulators throw out Campari’s claim that retired police officer’s beers could be confused with its vodka brand

How odd

OP is scathing about this “grim” drink and yet buys “a lot” of bottles every year? I’d wager that was a porkie and her “boycott” in practice means… well nothing!

Steve would be more grateful op if you actually bought something from him

Well I love a negroni which has Campari in it so sorry Steve it's a no from me

Totally agree.

Sun is shining so I'll be sat in the garden later enjoying a long Negroni (or three Grin )

Always have Aperol, Vermouth and Gin in the cupboard.
