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.

The effect of a 1% increase in duties cannot be used directly to derive the effects of a 10%, 20% or 30% increase. However, a proportional estimate is still a broadly reasonable assumption over this level of duty change.
Increased duties are passed through as higher retail prices. Higher duties are thus estimated to reduce alcohol consumption.

HM Revenue and Customs does not currently have a measure of the excise duty lost on wine in the UK due to fraud. The Department is researching alternative methodologies to produce a reliable estimate for the wine tax gap and will report its progress in Measuring Tax Gaps 2013.

[117369]
The Government Hospitality wine cellar is a Government-wide resource. The cellar is already largely self-financing. In the financial year 2011-12 Government Hospitality spent £55,602 on new stocks of wines and spirits. In the same period, it redeemed £44,000 from sales of older stock. In addition, Government Hospitality received £10,519 in repayment from other Government Departments for wines and spirits used at events on their behalf.
Publication of the annual statement to Parliament on the Government Hospitality wine cellar has, regrettably, been delayed until the autumn.

HMRC estimates losses in revenue associated with illicit sales of beer, spirits, tobacco products and oils. These are published in chapters 3, 4 and 5 of Measuring Tax Gaps 2011, available online here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/measuring-tax-gaps.htm
Figures for tobacco products and oils are published for each year from 2000-01 to 2009-10, for spirits each year from 2001-02 to 2009-10 and for beer each year from 2002-03 to 2009-10. Estimates are not available for earlier years.
For beer, more recent and improved estimates were published in Improved Beer Tax Gap Estimate: Lower Bound (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/beer-tax-gap-feb2012.pdf).
The methodologies used for producing each of these tax gap estimates can be found in the accompanying methodological annex (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/mtg-annex2011.pdf).
Estimates of the illicit market for wine are not available.
Separate estimates of duty losses due to smuggling are not made as the estimates of the total illicit market cannot be broken down into their component parts.
