Anne-Marie Perucic

Anne-Marie Perucic is an economist at the World Health Organization (WHO) known for her work on public health policies related to alcohol consumption. In recent discussions, she highlighted the unusual nature of over half of EU countries not taxing wine, emphasizing the health risks associated with increased alcohol accessibility. Perucic argues that such tax exemptions are often politically motivated and detrimental to public health, as they may lead to higher consumption and associated health issues.
