The average strength of wine is not used to administer the tax. To administer the tax on wine the Government sets duty rates for ranges of Alcohol by Volume (ABV). HM Revenue and Customs then monitor how much duty is paid in each of these categories and therefore the average strength of wine is not required.
The Government recognises availability of cheap alcohol is a serious issue and remains firmly committed in tackling this issue. The Government will shortly respond to its alcohol consultation, including with proposals to deal with deeply-discounted alcohol in supermarkets and other stores.

Estimates of the receipts raised from capital gains tax (CGT) by UK country for 2011-12 are presented in the following table, the latest year for which receipts are sufficiently final to be published at the UK level. The estimates are based on gains that accrued in 2010-11 but have not been split by rate as the inclusion of a new higher tax rate part way through that year makes it unrepresentative of the breakdown expected in future years.
