I suppose that the press coverage you link to is indeed misleading if this is simply Spitfire in smaller bottles (the Publican article is at worst ambiguous, however). Having said that, does it really matter? If they want to put a product in a smaller bottle and give it a slightly different name in order to support a good cause and get some publicity, why the criticism?Stonchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927490011165896353noreply@blogger.com
