Booze in Hold Luggage
65 Answers
A rather liquid encounter with a Marsala tasting emporium has resulted in me being the proud owner of a couple of litre bottles of (very good) Marsala.
I fly back soon from Sicily and (given the current bonkers restrictions on carrying liquids in the cabin) seem to have three options ...
1. Drink the lot here (which will probably mean I miss the plane)
2. Have a gentle aperitif and bin the residue (yeah right - like that's going to happen)
3. Pack the bottles carefully in my main 'hold luggage' suitcase - well wrapped in used undercrackers and socks - and hope it survives the flight.
Have people tried packing bottles of booze - are they likely to survive ??

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I once brought some bottles of plonk back as hold luggage. I packed them in a nest of coffee packs and clothing. When I eventually opened it the customs had had a rummage, unpacked everything and then chucked the bottles in the bottom of the holdall with the packing on top. Amazingly nothing got broken apart from my faith in our loyal public servants.
