In realation to the risks of contamination in the ingredients used for making liqueurs.

Buongusto is in capitals. Is this a proprietary name or a grade of alcohol etc?

food-grade alcohol

It's not a proprietary name - at least there is more than one company that makes the stuff.

It is 95% ethanol (which is as pure as you can theoretically make ethanol by distillation), and used to make limoncello and various other infusions which give you a disproportionate hangover. People make this stuff at home, and probably drink the pure stuff for all I know - "alcool buongusto" will be on sale at your local supermarket alongside the spirits.

agree Rachel Fell : not in supermarkets in the UK (and various other countires), though!

Thanks - even if it were legal in the UK the duty alone would be about £20 per litre - retail price in IT is about €10 - I only know because I bought some for cleaning when I couldn't find cheap white spirit. Honest!

95 % pure ethanole for to make liqueurs.

I saw in Sardegna, people were buying 95 % ethylalcohol from supermarkets for to make limoncello, crema di limeoncello and mirto. It is food grade alcohol that can be used for to make home-made liqueurs.
