You and Yours - 20/05/2011

Measles vaccinations before travel to Europe, nightclubs and the recession, textile labelling, and the effect of increased taxes on Britain's wine consumption. With Peter White.

Families planning holidays to France and other European countries are being urged to get their children vaccinated for measles before they travel. The Health Protection Agency - the UK's independent public health body - says an epidemic in France is rapidly spreading across borders and has already led to cases here.

As Britain's biggest nightclub chain Luminar posts pre-tax losses of £1.1 million, we examine how changing tastes and tightened belts are affecting the industry.

Increased taxes and troubled off-licences; after 25 years of unbroken growth, Britain's wine consumption has stalled. Peter White joins 10,000 wine producers, buyers and analysts including Tesco's Director of Beer Wine and Spirits at the London International Wine Fair to find out what pressures the wine trade is facing and how this may change what we'll drink in the future.

And the new rules announced by the EU which state clothes manufacturers have to clearly label textiles containing animal products.

The presenter is Peter White. The producer is Kathryn Takatsuki.
