In the case of wines, such as the various types of sherry, the position was even more difficult, for, in addition to Hie import licence being cut in half, one variety of Hie wine bad risen in price from £33 to £BO a butt, and another had increased in price from £7O to £l5O, making the importation of this wine prohibitive.
