can I carry on wine flying between France and Copenhagen?

I know it sounds dumb but I don't know the answer and the sites I find on the web talk about bringing wine back to the states. I want to know if I can "carry-on" a bottle between France and Copenhagen...anyone??? Donna

Basically no.

You can't take any liquids in a container bigger than 100ml (3.2 fl oz.) through security so, unless you buy the wine air-side (i.e. after security) at the airport, you can't take a bottle of wine as carry-on luggage. You can put it in your checked luggage though.

There may be one way around it...if you buy the wine at duty free after security, and they seal it in a special wine carrier, you might be able to.

However, I would check with the airline before you buy it.

FYI--the 3.4 oz/100ml liquid limitations are now almost universal around the world. There are a few exceptions.

We use the trick of buying wine once we get passed security. We will be in Beaune wine tasting and was hoping to bring a couple bottles for our next stop. We'll just put it in our checked luggage. Thanks! dlz

Donna - The basic answer is Yes - As long as it's in your stomach!!

But in checked luggage or by land, you can bring as much wine as you want, there are no customs restrictions between EU-countries anymore, as long as it is non-commercial. EU-guidelines say that up to 90 liters of wine is regarded ad non-commercial, over that limit, you have to make probable that it is for your own consumption.

If you buy at duty free, should be fine. I bought a bottle of whiskey in Dublin, and flew to Copenhagen, and on to Rome with it in my carry on.
