Wine Duty Fraud

Wine Guy read this article in Harper's Weekly with great interest. Follow the link below.

Do we think that our alcohol taxes are too high, and if so why can't the Government lower them to an acceptable level, or even on a par with our Continental neighbours?

Wine Guy remembers the high alcohol taxes the Danes once paid resulting in smuggling and many a booze cruise to Germany...what did they do in order to combat this? They lowered their own taxes on two occasions that's what! More domestic purchases, less illegal sales and a minimal change in tax revenue making most people a bit happier, especially the local wine merchants.

Time for a rethink here in the UK?

Answers on a postcard please.
