Freeze distilling. Good idea or bad idea?

Hi all. Never posted here before. I started off making beer, but found wine
so much more interesting.
Anyhow, I was wondering if anybody has an opinion on this. I was thinking of
experimenting in freeze distilling, probably with a bottle of my plum wine.
Firstly, I've heard that freeze distilling is a bit of a grey area in
winemaking. Some say illegal, some say kind of legal, others legal. I'm in
the UK, does anyone know if I'm legal
Secondly, I'm a bit worried about certain toxins. I've read that some
toxins, some "bad" alcohols, remain in freeze distilled wines, whereas
pot-distilled wines remove them. Should I be worried about these toxins? Are
they in suitable levels to be harmful?
Sorry if I'm posting this to the wrong group, but I couldn't find a
distillery newsgroup. If anyone could help me in my "plum port" experiment
it'd be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Paul
