Is wine that cheap drinkable?

[L.A.]

You can certainly purchase some very nice wine abroad for less than £2 a bottle, but I suspect that Customs and Excise might take an interest in this scheme and you could find yourself with a bill for the duty.

Yeah, but it's not what you know, it's who you know

Romanian wine can be bought for under £2 a bottle, its great stuff.

I think it would be alright if it's for your personal use.  I have done the wine run to France a couple of times and on neither occasion were Customs interested in levying any kind of duty.  If you want to sell it, I presume it would attract the same taxes as any wine sold in the UK by retailers.

Hmm that might be true, the website seems to imply there are no more taxes to pay on it

However one of the stipulations on the government site is that you must transport it yourself, which of course you are not doing if it is delivered.

probably a good ideas to check before ordering.

Well .. what's their shipping charge? Normally duty/vat applies to goods shipped from outside the EU (ie not for Portugal)

Has Portugal left the EU?

I think they are waiting for Greece to test the water.

It's only because I don't believe you should be drunk whilst in charge of small people that I can't say the same.

[OH MY WORLD!]

Do you people really want to go for the cheapest? Whatever.

Apparently no duty is payable because it is in the EU and you have paid it n the country of origin

Anyone do this already?
