A Hastings shop found with counterfeit wine in its stockroom has avoided losing its licence after a hearing last week. 

On Thursday (February 25), a Hastings Borough Council licensing panel met to  consider an application to revoke the alcohol sales licence of Four Seasons Supermarket, a convenience store in Bohemia Road. 

The panel heard how East Sussex Trading Standards officers had visited the store in June and found several bottles of Blossom Hill White Zinfandel in its stockroom, some of which were later confirmed as counterfeit.
