(c) only buy wines that are either not available in the US (a lot of boutique wines are not exported) or are considerably cheaper abroad. We will not hassle with brining in wine that saves us $2 a bottle. If we're going to lug wine home they're going to be at least $50 bottles that we've saved a minimum of 25 percent on over the price at home.</font>
I agree. It's not worth the aggrivation to lug something home and then find it at the grocery store for the same price (or less). For me part of it is the fun of finding overlooked wineries and then sharing the grape with friends.
