Accepted bottles are considered;

  Any fine whisk(e)y, tesco's own brand considered unacceptable,
personally I think the punishment for bringing such a bottle would be to
have the whole bottle poured down your underwear, if it burns it's your
fault ;)
  Any liquor equal to or above 40% from your country of origin
  Any liquor equal to or above 40% from the country hosting the meeting

  - The 40% rule is intended to exclude high fermented bottles of spirit
which usually come at 37.5%, effectively if it's not been distilled it's
not an accepted spirit ;)

These rules have been broken before, specifically the last time Lefty
brought Gin from a country which was neither the one we were in, or his
own.
