Alcohol into USA

[lynjowton]

Can anyone tell me what i am allowed to bring with me in my checked in luggage. Was thinking Baileys and a bottle of wine but not sure if i can bring both i am sure low alcohol content says unlimited . Dont want to get into trouble.

the issue is not about quantity, but about taxes

you can enter with ONE liter of alcohol, free of duties and taxes

if you choose to bring more, you will need to pay taxes on any extra bottles

I'd only take it if you really like it and you can't get it over there (Baileys might fit into that category? I've never seen it there - may be wrong though). As it can't go in hand luggage unless you're buying duty free at the airport, then I'd worry too much about a bottle exploding all over my clothes in a suitcase. Not sure if you'll have a car but wine is reasonably priced and comes in litre bottles

Any liquor store will have Baileys. It is readily available,
As for wine, any supermarket.
TBH., brining these types of drinks aren't worth the hassle.

They have some different flavour Bailey's too.

I always take a box of wine as we stay onsite and wine is expensive. there’s no rush to go to supermarket And we can have a glass first evening 😊

I’m sure it’s 1 litre of spirits... wine or fortified products will have different limits

I have taken, my husband and I, a litre bottle of pink gin and a litre bottle of Captain Morgan into the states after buying it at Manchester Airport Duty Free. We have had no issues.

1 litre alcohol per person - any more than that and you hve to pay duty & customs

Wine readily available in 1.5l bottles. Even better.
