Who we are
The Retail of Alcohol Standards Group (RASG) was established in 2005 by the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, and their retailer members, in a bid to reduce the number of underage sales taking place in retail premises, to tackle the issue of underage drinking as well as promoting high standards among alcohol retailers.
RASG members include most of the UK major retailers and we meet every quarter to consider work that will contribute to our goal of eradicating underage sales.
In 2007, RASG established the first Community Alcohol Partnership (CAP). Community Alcohol Partnerships bring together local retailers & licensees, trading standards, police, health services, education providers and other local stakeholders to tackle the problem of underage drinking and associated anti-social behaviour.
RASG is co-ordinated and managed by the Wine and Spirit Trade Association. All queries regarding, and contact with or relating to RASG, will be dealt with by the WSTA and stored in accordance with their Data Protection Policy.
To be a member of RASG you either need to be a WSTA member or a funder of the Community Alcohol Partnerships (CAP) scheme. The data processed may vary depending on whether you are a WSTA member or CAP funder. As a member of RASG, your personal data will be automatically be processed by the WSTA. If you are a funder of CAP, your personal data will also be processed by CAP. All personal data will be processed in accordance with the WSTA and/or CAP Data Protection Policies.
