Bringing duty free booze back..

[pjay]

Just wondering from those who have done a trip to euroland since brexit, are there good savings to be had in the duty free shops on wine at the tunnel or ports or do you just buy your wine etc as normal from the French supermarkets/outlets even though that is French tax paid?

Off on Monday, we will be buying our wine in the supermarkets as we can get the wines we like.
Also have you tried carrying 40 bottles of wine down the stairs to the car decks?

No, but I could find some way of carrying 12 3ltr boxes of wine from the eurotunnel carpark to the van if the price is right, maybe they have trollies.

Brittany Ferries will take you down to your car with a trolley and porter.

Still cheaper in Supermarkets even with tax paid as alcohol taxes are lower in a lot of European countries.

Two examples

Bombay Sapphire 70cl (full stength) Eurotunnel £20.49 Kaufland EUR14.99
Absolute Vodka 70cl Eurotunnel £19.99 Kaufland EUR10.99

Also you need to pre-register to get a QR code to visit Duty free at Eurotunnel so in a snapshot still cheaper not duty free.

How about wine prices?

Surely there is a requirement to buy it "duty free": that was one of the B Bonuses wasn't it?

zero duty on wine in Germany, Spain & Portugal and about 10p a bottle in France but all charge VAT but it's still cheaper than so called duty free.

Brittany ferries are selling litre bottles of Bushmills for £12.10.
Never seen it cheaper than that.
