[scottroo]

im coming home tommorow and want to know if i can put some wine into my checked luggage that i bought non duty free in france, aswell as my 2.25 litres of duty free grog in my hand luggage?

I think the law is everything over 100ml must be in your checked luggage not your hand luggage.

Last year we had to take out our scotch from our hand laggage and put it into the checked luggage or they were going to take it off us.
Check the Airlines web site it should be on there what you can or cannot take on the plane

And I thought this was going to be about bringing back later hours for pubs, and cheaper booze...

Depends. If you buy it at the airport they deliver it to your gate before you board in a sealed bag that proves it hasn't been tampered with.

We did this in Singapore a couple of months ago and it was fine - brought 4 litres of grog (2 for me, 2 for my wife) home in my hand luggage (lucky they didn't weight it! ).

When I was coming back through Jo'berg airport last year I noticed most of the duty free booze was actually more expensive than I could get it locally at home.
The same applied last time I was in Singapore.
It makes you wonder.

Kramer: If anything, we'll probably get there early. I'll have a chance to go to the Duty Free shop.

George: The Duty Free Shop? Duty Free is the biggest sucker deal in retail. Do you know how much duty is?

Kramer: Duty.

George: Yeah, "duty". Do you know how much duty is?

Kramer: No, I dunno how much duty is.

George: Duty is *nothing*. It's like sales tax...

Kramer: I still like to stop at the duty free shop.

George: I like to stop at the duty free shop.

G+K: I like to stop at the duty free shop! I like to stop at the duty free shop!
