Cheers!

The UK Border Agency has confiscated over 80,000 litres of Italian wine, 14,000 litres of vodka and over 300,000 litres of beer with a total value of more than a million pounds all of which was illegally imported into Britain recently.

The alcohol will now apparently be turned into fertiliser and the packaging recycled.

I suppose the UKBA is right to put illegally imported items to some other use but, at the same time, one wonders why all this booze couldn’t just be recycled at a profit through the supermarkets.

What I’d like to know is: What is to be grown in the fields fertilised by wine and vodka, and where can we buy whatever is produced in them?
