I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the tax take on alcohol in respect of excise duty on beer, spirits, wine and cider in each month of 2009 is as set out in the table hereunder. The yield from each alcohol product in any month can vary considerably across the year for a number of reasons including seasonal factors.
