I don't mean is homebrewing legal, which obviously is, and I don't mean is selling the stuff legal, which obviously isn't, but...
Is it legal to donate a bottle or two of homebrewed wine as a prize in a raffle?
To my thinking, it depends why the sale of homebrew is illegal anyway:
- if it's illegal because of the possible dangers of dodgy, dirty, contaminated homebrew as a result of dodgy, dirty, contaminated conditions when making it, then giving two bottles as a raffle prize ought to be illegal...
-...but if selling homebrew is illegal because of fears (in 1963) of the collapse of the wine trade, or mass pub closure, or something like that, then as there's no money involved in this deal, it ought to be legal.
Any length of answer, from "yes it's legal" or "no it's not" upwards, appreciated. Or complete the poll!
Thanks all!
