Over 200 British products are being sold at Annam Gourmet grocery stores in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City as part of a campaign to celebrate British food and drink products in Vietnam.

The two-week 'GREAT Food for the Season' campaign was launched on Thursday by the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City in partnership with Annam Gourmet.

It features Christmas products typically in demand during the holiday season, including British chocolate, biscuits, shortbread, whisky, gin, and tea from British brands like Cadbury’s, Walkers, and English Tea Shop.
