I also understand that some of the small cider producers are having to do some lobbying as HMRC have done some muttering about removing the small producers cider exemption on excise duty.
You think it's bad for cider, wine, etc then you should look into distilling and then you'll realise just how massive the duty is on spirits (last time I looked it was £21.35 per 1% alcohol per 100 litres a.k.a. £5.60 per 70cl bottle @ 37.5% alcohol a.k.a. £800.62 per 100 litres @ 37.5% - now that's what I call robbery).
