12 teams

As wine shops have been close down, there is apprehension about liquor addicts seeking recourse to illicit liquor to satiate their urge. As if to reinforce the suspicion that more illicit liquor den might be in operation, a model of liquor production that has appeared in social website has become viral. The miscreants might use cashew that is available now in abundance to make liquor locally.
