Isn't that because of taxation? It is that way in Czechia as well, purely because of that; it is OK to make spirits at home though (up to some - albeit pretty large - amount).

Sorry but it is not allowed to make spirits at home in Czech Republic.

You can use certified distillery to make spirit from home grown fruit and pay taxes (although not as much as for commercial alcohol). This spirit is used for personal use only and could not be sold.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry I wasn't clear.

I’m honestly not sure I know what the original motivations for that law is, but I always assumed it’s due to taxation and licensing reasons.
