Rip Off Britain

How much is the Tax? compared to what our gov slap on

Perhaps no one there really likes it and they have reduced it to clear. 

Good answer Dusty but I think your just a tad wide of the post

Rip off Britain suggests the shops are overcharging but the price difference is really down to a different tax regime in the UK. The fact that you can buy the wine in the UK for £5 a bottle, if you buy a case, suggests pretty good value to me. Obviously better if you can get it at £3 a bottle but how many bottle are you going to be able to bring back.

It was the irony of the situation, Germany a fairly large wine producer imports American wine then sells it cheaper than home grown wines.  I imagine that the German Government gives their own growers, shall we say, incentives as well.  I obviously understand the tax regimes but didn't want to meander into a T&Cs issue.

I suspect if they have enough supplies tomorrow we will buy another 4 cases, that should see the summer out for Mrs One

One of our favourites too, Mrs K tells me our Asda regularly has it for £5, no need to buy 6 bottles.

Aldi  or Lidl sell it for about £5

Brought 4 cases £17.74/case as aposed to £30/case
