A press release shared by the 50-year-old on his Instagram page confirmed the same.

“Shane Warne and his founders, which included 2 prominent WA surgical specialists, decided to stop production of their award-winning SevenZeroEight gin to shift to producing medical grade 70 per cent alcohol hand sanitiser until further notice,” read the statement.

“An agreement has already been made to provide a continuous supply to two nominated Western Australian hospitals at cost,” it added.

Furthermore, the veteran spin legend stated the issue himself, adding that he was delighted on being able to contribute to a good cause.

“This is a challenging time for Australians and we all need to do what we can to help our healthcare system combat this disease and save lives. I am happy SevenZeroEight has the ability to make this shift and encourage others to do the same,” Warne said.
