When I drive up the central coast of California, I tour the wineries. I
usually walk away from each winery with at least one bottle (I feel obligated, particularly if the tasting is free) and sometimes as much as a case. What do people do when touring wineries in Europe? How do you bring the stuff back? CAN you bring the stuff back? Or is the shipping and duty prohibitive? TIA Jon |

The last time I visited Europe, I returned with 15 bottles of wine, much to my wife's consternation (though she doesn't seem disinclined to drink my ill-gotten gains now). In my 5-10 trips, I've never been charged duty, despite always declaring all. The biggest problem is simply carrying the damn stuff, though if you bring a styrofoam shipper as checked luggage, you can avoid even that problem ;-) Mark Lipton |
