Those of us with tastebuds have long suspected that there is a big difference between a dirt cheap wine (less than £3) and a cheap win (£4 or so). Here's why.
Duty on wine is based on volume, while VAT is based on price. This means that whether you have a bottle of Chateau Lafite, or a bottle of Lambrusco, you pay the same duty. A pound extra on wine will actually go towards the quality. Imagine what £10 must do.
This is from another (but welcome!) cookbook given as a birthday present, The Cook's Pocket Bible by Roni Jay.
