“Under a no-deal Brexit, UK excise duty would no longer be due on alcohol and cigarettes bought when leaving Britain, the Treasury said, meaning a bottle of wine bought at Heathrow by a departing passenger would be up to £2.23 cheaper.

According to figures provided by the Treasury, someone buying two crates of beer would save £12.
Some estimates put the cost of the policy at £250m”
