In the 1970s, a friend offering to crack open a bottle of foul muck made in a cupboard under the stairs was a common threat and the prelude to an appalling hangover. But the fad took hold because of the dullalternatives and the fact that it was, at least, cheap. Times have changed. The winning entry in a nationwide home-brewing competition went on sale in October in Waitrose, a fancy supermarket, at 2.50 a bottle.  家庭酿造曾是令人心生恐惧的一个短语。在20世纪70年代，如果一个朋友提议开一瓶在楼梯底下的碗柜里酿造的劣质酒，这是一个普通的威胁，也是一场可怕宿醉的序曲。但这一时的狂热竟就地生根了，因为当时的选择寥寥无几，而且起码自酿酒很便宜。如今时代变了。全国家庭酿造比赛的优胜酒于10月在名为维特罗斯的高档超市上架，售价为每瓶2.5镑。  Thornbridge Brewery, a well-regarded small beermaker and one of the sponsors of the tournament, will produce 10,000 bottles of Graham Nelsons Vienna IPA, which beat over 200 other tipples to take the title.
