Nicola Williams, chair of the Independent Complaints Panel, said: “It is wholly irresponsible to present an alcoholic drink as prescription medication and suggest that consumption of it can cure mental and physical ailments. In this case, the product also created a link to irresponsible and immoderate consumption which was particularly concerning when the product was encouraging consumption based on health grounds. Caution must be exercised with tongue in cheek marketing so that it does not breach the Code”. Allergen Advice; All our products are vegetarian and vegan friendly, therefore diary free. Gluten free. Raspberry Gin Details: Our Raspberry Liqueur is soaked in alcohol for several weeks to increase the depth of flavour, colour and to intensify the aroma of the fruit. There are four different categories of Gin styles and it all comes down to how they are produced. The styles are London Dry Gin, Distilled Gin, Genever and Sloe Gin (well technically Sloe Gin is a Liqueur). Our range covers products within all these categories. In this case, the product also created a link to irresponsible and immoderate consumption which was particularly concerning when the product was encouraging consumption based on health grounds. Caution must be exercised with tongue-in-cheek marketing so that it does not breach the Code.”

Gifting company MixPixie has been forced to discontinue its ‘Prescription Gin’ brand after a complaint made by a member of the public was upheld by regulatory body the Portman Group. MixPixie will now work with an advisory service on designing a new label for its gin. The company opened by stating that it appreciated the complainant’s misunderstandings, but that it disputed the points raised and wished to respond to the concerns.

Despite the complaint being upheld on two counts, the Panel refused to condemn it on other alleged breaches of the Code, noting that: “The bottle referenced gin six times and the label clearly stated the alcoholic strength of the product. There was no evidence the product had an association with dangerous behaviour or a particular appeal to under-18s as the sparkles in the product were not the dominant feature, nor did the product have childish imagery, sweet flavours, contrast colours or a childish font.”

In response to the concern that the product breached Code rule 3.2(h), the company stated that it took its alcohol licences very seriously and that it found the suggestion it had broken this particular rule disappointing. The company provided a list of other companies selling alcoholic drinks with sparkles in. The company stated that it did not see how prescription gin which contained sparkles was any different to the products it had highlighted.The front of the bottle also featured the statement, ‘Possible side effects: may include extreme relaxation, giddiness and happiness’. This implies a link between consumption and curing physical and mental ailments, the ICP found. The company highlighted that the product clearly stated, “This product contains alcohol. By purchasing this product, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or over.” Additionally, the product implied a link between consumption and curing physical and mental ailments. On the front of the bottle it stated, “Possible side effects: May include extreme relaxation, giddiness and happiness.” The Chair explained that during the Informal Resolution process she had noted that the bottle was 200ml and contained sparkles. The Chair explained that as part of the Informal Resolution review she had raised rule 3.2(h) for consideration as it was her view that the product could appear toy-like and therefore warranted further discussion as to whether it had a particular appeal to under-18s.

The company explained that it took its alcohol licence very seriously and that it had met with Trading Standards to ensure that no laws or rules had been breached with the product. The company stated that Trading Standards had approved the changes and that it was also waiting to hear from the Advertising Standards Authority to confirm compliance before any further changes were made to the product. The Panel’s assessment: Drinks regulatory body the Portman Group has upheld a complaint made against a gin brand, the bottle of which resembles a medicine bottle. The Independent Complaints Panel (ICP) noted that the bottle was designed to look like prescription medicine due to the shape of the bottle, its name and the use of a green cross on the label, which was an exact copy of the UK’s pharmacy cross.

The Panel therefore concluded there was a clear suggestion that the product had therapeutic qualities, which breached Code rule 3.2(j). All drinks are infused with a dry Gin, that has been crafted using traditional methods, and top quality botanicals. The Panel then discussed whether the product suggested that it had therapeutic qualities, could enhance mental or physical capabilities, or change mood or behaviour. The Panel considered that the product was deliberately, and overtly, designed to look like a prescription medicine and that such medicines were synonymous with being used to cure and relieve physical and/or mental ailments. The Panel reiterated the points made during discussion under other Code rules and noted the usage of the exact replica of a pharmacy cross, small medicinal bottle shape and medicinal liquid colour which, when combined, suggested that the product had therapeutic qualities. The Panel also noted that the front of the bottle stated, “POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS: MAY INCLUDE EXTREME RELAXATION, GIDDINESS AND HAPPINESS.” The Panel considered that this directly suggested that the product could help a consumer to relax and that it would also result in happiness after consumption. The Panel considered that these phrases also suggested that the product had a therapeutic effect and that it could change someone’s mood. The Panel therefore concluded that the product breached rule 3.2(j). The Panel noted that the bottle was designed to look like prescription medicine, in that the shape of the bottle, the name ‘Prescription Gin’ and the green cross displayed on the front of the bottle was an exact replica of a pharmacy cross in the UK.
