      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.

        Agreed. As well as illegal production of alcohol.
        If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

            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...

              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.

                The booze cruise was only worth it when the euro was at a good rate. At its current rate its not worth it.

                  Ha, an insulting tag of my very own. Well I think it's insulting, I don't know what it means!

                    Here's your answer: Still Spirit Making Kits, Equipment & Supplies | Wineworks.co.uk .

                    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! )

                    (*so I don't know why you're just emphasising selling the stuff illegally...)
