28 September 2012 Alcoholic liquor is out of Central Excise Act, since it is not covered in Central Excise, question for CENVAT on the same doesn't arise.
Moreover, as per your question is seems that the potable is working as trader not as manufacturer. Therefore cenvat can't be taken by him on the input.
