Within the UK Limits for non-EU, of course!! 200/1 litre.

JER Duty Free:
Carton of 200 ciggies around £25-£28. What do you pay?
Litre of cheap spirits around £12. Ditto?
Heaven knows what you pay in UK for that ... my local wine merchant does £56
for 200, and a 75cl quality Calvados for £15.

YMMV, of course. But it does save something from the cost of the ticket.
