Cheers! Chancellor FREEZES tax on beer, wine AND cider in major budget boost to stop pubs shutting during coronavirus crisis
2020-03-12
  • The Chancellor said he was abandoning a planned rise in duty on spirits

  • Sunak also revealed he would freeze the rates on beer, cider and wine as well

  • Was among measures designed to immunise the high street against coronavirus


    • The The Ship Inn Oundle, UK near RAF Molesworth. I hope it's still there.

#5  I'm well stocked with spirits including 24 bottles of cask strength 12yo vintage bourbon.

Don't know if that's enough to kill the virus but it'll be so drunk it'll forget its mission.
