By that does it not mean that its up to the seller to ensure that all the purchasers excise duties are payed?[/quote:1a1vm57s]

That's what I took for it... Sounds like it'll be good to go for awhile then the price will suddenly jump to accomodate the exise.

It's €0.1987 per Litre pre degree of alcohol. So 20 bottles (10L) of 5% beer will be just under a tenner.
