Giving away alcohol?

Does anyone know if you are allowed to give away bottles of bubbly as a prize (not to be drunk on the premises) without an alcohol license? If not are there any loopholes to giving away free bottles of bubbly?

How to schools fetes etc.. get away with it?

    I think that you need a licence to sell alcohol not to give it away. The licencing is now done by the local authority and not the police (as it used to be) and I havent a clue as to where you could get such information now, sorry.

    Good Luck
