Gins costing up to £76 are made in the same distilleries as supermarket own-brands

GIN costing up to £76 a bottle is being made in the same distilleries as almost identical stuff costing a fraction of the price.and the extra alcohol duty if they are slightly stronger — all of which amounts only to pennies.However, it's made in the same Cheshire distillery as Sainsbury's brand Blackfriars, which costs just £16

Martin Isark, author of the Supermarket Own Brand Guide, said many boutique gins on sale come from three large distilleries.Mr Isark said: “That’s more than £60 difference for a pretty label and a fancy bottle.And Ophir costs £23 a bottle, even though gin is cheap and relatively easy to make"Yes there is three per cent more alcohol and a different mix of botanicals in the Berkeley Square gin but most drinkers will not be able to tell the difference when mixed with a tonic.
