"Is there a subsidy on wine because it's what the upper crust drink?" Some booze is taxed according to alcohol % others on overall volume: wine apparently has on average a higher rate of duty than beer. Not to worry though, because rather than have Brexit turn most of Kent into a traffic-jam-lorrypark, HM customs will just have to let it all through without checking, so for London & the South of England wine and no doubt other booze will essentially become duty free: paying only a smugglers surcharge. So its "...trebles all round down saa'f!"
