Alcohol released for consumption June 2010
(UK Customs clearances) Please read the tables below in conjunction with the notes.  

 The tables show the quantities of wines and spirits taken out of bond and released for home consumption in the UK. Cross-channel shopping and smuggling are therefore not covered. The latest month is shown together with the percentage difference against the same month of the previous year. In addition, the annual total is compared with that a year earlier to give a more stable measure of change. For wine, quantities are in Hectolitres (Hl); 1 Hl is 100 litres, where a case of standard bottles is 9 litres. For spirits quantities are shown in hectolitres of pure alcohol (LPA). A case of standard spirit bottles (70 cl) at 40% vol. Will contain 3.36 litres of pure alcohol Contact David Tromans for further information – david@wsta.co.uk This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it  - 020 7089 3877
