Default How to choose a wine for Thanksgiving

You can say that again. We went to Europe this summer and wanted to take
some local wines to hour hosts. I would have preferred to take it in
carry one luggage rather than risk putting it in our suitcases. I could
not get anything at duty free leaving Toronto because we had a layover
in Amsterdam and would not have been able to take it back on the plane
there, though I could have picked up some at Schipol. We did buy some
duty free booze in Tallinn and take it to Sweden with us. On the way
home we flew from Copenhagen to Schipol, then on to Toronto, and were
able to get some in Schipol. It is strange. You can buy duty free booze
and take it on the plane at the airport where you buy it, but you cannot
take it on board (in carry on) at any other airport.
