New Year Drinking Saved - you will be able to get a drink after midnight after all

The Treasury have finally conceded that putting vat back up at the the very stroke of New Year would be very stupid indeed. It would have meant most pubs and clubs having to close their tills for a few hours as the vat change was programmed in. A real blow for the New year Celebrations. The switch for pubs, clubs and phone operators is now at 6am, so only the hardiest drinkers will be inconvenienced. BBC story   Accountancy Age story.

Minimum alcohol pricing 'would force Scots south' to stock up on beer

A good time to invest in a big booze barn just south of the border? http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com

@rubello Noticed your von verignon label is in technical breech of EU wine labelling law. Perhaps you shouldn't leave it on display!

The rules on wine labelling may be a bit odd in general, and seem even odder in the light of personalised wine, but they are enforced by a very small team.
Of course licensing laws are even more peculiar, and much better enforced.
If you would like to outsource your wine labelling to us, you wouldn't need to worry about compliance issues. We've been keeping up to speed with this stuff for years, through 2 Licensing Acts and countless iterations of the labelling laws. http://www.euromarquewines.co.uk
