Bringing red wine in from LAO

[brissy allan and lynda]

We are off to LAO for a break soon, and considering bringing back some red wine.

Has anyone done same and did u have any issues re customs at border.

Thanks ..Allan

Provided its within the duty free allowance, why would there be a problem?

Buy the cheap stuff with the screw-on caps. The locals are more familiar with those and you save a lot by not having to uncork your bottles to prove it is truly wine and then having to down it all before getting back to CM and it going off.

Your allowed 1 liter of alcohol per passport holder by customs. Alcohol meaning spirits, wine or beer. 1 liter total not each. Also cigarets your only allowed 200 fags or 1 carton.

Quite frankly ... Considering the limitations of choice and customs, you would be well advised to forget that idea and simply stock up on your next visit to BigC or Tesco.

Any talk of bypassing legal authorities will be removed.

"Discretely" brought in a couple of litres of red wine once, but filling in the arrival card was hard going, let alone standing up for the obligatory snap shot

I like that it comes with directions. "Usage: for rheumatism, lumbago, and sweat of limbs."

Thanks to everyone that replied .. given formal allowance is only 1 litre, I won't bother.

But that snake in a bottle will give me nightmares for weeks :-):-)
