    That's $0.78 billion (India) and $10 billion (EU). Pretty clear which is the biggest market.
    Don't confuse him further with arguments about geographic proximity.

      Lets not mention the 150% import tariff on whiskey into India compared to 0% to the rest of the EU, as well as the other FTAs that we already enjoy, eg Japan.

        But these facts are unimportant compared to the self pitying anger of an elderly white man.

          It also depends on which way you use to calculate a percentage. In the UK £3 out of £4 is tax, in other words, whisky has a 300% tax.

            If you are saying something different to that, then please spell it out concisely, rather than confusing yourself.

              Interesting phraseology there. Are you from the Indian subcontinent?

                It's rather outdated to see that style of usage of the present continuous tense as Indian English - we're lovin' it.

                  I'm surprised none of the Scottish contingent on here have pointed out grunter's other glaring mistake, no, not that Idea imposes 150% tariffs on proper Whiskey, but they also apply that to Scottish whisky.
