Wikpedia references EU Regulation 162/2013, which gives the various recipes
across the EU:

Taking a random sample from a few different countries, the basic recipe seems
to be 1% mixed crud to make it unpalatable, up to 10% methanol, and the rest
ethanol.  The ethanol and methanol will evaporate readily enough, but I'd be
somewhat concerned about residue left from non-volatile components of the 1%.

It's not like isopropanol is terribly expensive or difficult to get hold of.  I
can order ten litres of it from Amazon £28.66 with free delivery.  If anything,
it seems to be slightly cheaper than meths.
