Only on things which are currently sold below the minimum price which would seem to mainly consist of nasty cheap vodka and wine sold below £4.50-£5. It would seem a reasonable conclusion that the extra tax will predominantly come directly from those buying cheap drink simply to get smashed, cheap vodka especially.Originally posted by SupremeSpod View PostMinimal price is going to ensure an increase in take for HMRC.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I wonder how much it costs to run a still? If we're talking 50p a pint for homebrew, how much does it cost to distill that? Based on volume alone, about £5 for 750ml...Originally posted by mos View PostAgreed. As well as illegal production of alcohol.

Minimal price is just going to force me off Asda Smartprice lagers and ciders, and onto harder stuff like Fosters. They'll be the same price after all.Originally posted by SupremeSpod View PostMinimal price is going to ensure an increase in take for HMRC.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment

...and then sell* it illegally?
Not illegal to sell this equipment, just illegal to operate without a license* (unless you listen to the know-it-all homebrew retard assistant at our local homebrew shop - he'd give sas a run for his money!
)
