Partly verified

At least one of those three claims rests on a secondary source or an inference, a disagreement between sources is still open, or a split supply has a format that has not been read.

ABV and country of origin verified from the Ocado M&S listing. Producer (which Spanish brewery) is not named on the page, so the UK brewer and the origin site are not established. Category tag is the nearest fit in the schema; the product is Spanish-brewed own label.

The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.

The label says: "Country of origin: Spain. Marks and Spencer plc, PO Box 3339, Chester, CH99 9QS, United Kingdom."
