Do you need a license to make vinegar commercially.

Thinking you make alcohol first then vinegar.. Do you need to any alcohol licensing?
 
From memory Ted Bruning's book goes into this. I haven't got my copy to hand but I **think** the alcohol production side has to be licensed, and then you claim back the duty when it gets turned into vinegar (if only the same applied to certain cask pubs....)

So it may make sense to get a local brewery/cidery to handle the duty-payable side of things, and then just buy it in and claim back the duty.
