When travelling from the EU to the UK you do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in another EU country as long as (a) tax was included in the price when you purchased the items, (b) the items are for your own use, and (c) have been transported to the UK by you.

If you bring back large quantities of alcohol or tobacco, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods. This will most likely be the case if you appear at the airport with more than:
•800 cigarettes
•400 cigarillos
•200 cigars
•1 kg of smoking tobacco
•110 litres of beer
•10 litres of spirits
•90 litres of wine
•20 litres of fortified wine e.g. port or sherry.
