LIDL has been banned from selling a copycat gin in the UK after a legal battle with Hendrick’s.

The company argues that the supermarket’s gin bottle looked like the ‘apothecary-style bottle’ used by Hendrick’s. They also pointed to comments made on social media in which people remarked on the similarities between the two products. A judge rejected Lidl’s appeal earlier this week - and went further to say they couldn’t sell the look-a-like bottle anywhere else in the UK.
