Internet sales up but wine sales down!

Just read on SkyNews that wine sales are down after the Christmas boom by 62%. This is what we fought would happen as the post Christmas figures are always high as people seem not to spend on luxury goods after the festive time due to diets and gilt. This year its a bigger fall due to the rotten recession as people put wine lower and lower on there shopping list.
Will Gordon Brown have a Wine and Spirits bell out? Maybe for whisky if it ever needed due to it in the PM and Chancellor constituencies. Even that all we ask for is to drop big duty on W&S (apart from Whisky as it already has it). The lower VAT was canceled out by the increase of duty you pay for your favorite drop. Aswel it keep your Saturday tipple down it will also save hundreds of jobs.
