From the European Travel Retail Council:
I think this liquid rule regarding liquor bought in the EU is STUPID! what difference does it make if a bottle of wine is purchased in the EU or outside!

You can still get terrorists from within the US and you can get the same brand of liquor from within and outside of the US!

Its just discrimination based on nationality!

I think its just a excuse to increase sales in the US! and these whitehouse bureacrats shout "protectionism" everytime the EU tries to include a "buy EU" clause in any financial recovery plans! hypocrites!
