First gin made from discarded grapes to hit Tesco's shelves

Hyke gin is part of effort to drive down UK's annual 20bn food waste bill

A major British fruit supplier and a craft spirits producer have teamed up to find a way to prevent an estimated 166m surplus supermarket grapes from going to waste every year - by turning them into gin.

The new Hyke gin - the first in the UK to be made from grapes grown to be eaten fresh - goes on sale at 300 Tesco branches later this month.
