In Aug 2014, my wife and I did a trip to the UK & Europe from Brisbane, flying Emirates both ways. On our return, we left Rome for Dubai for a 4 day stay,and bought 4 bottles of wine from a vine yard in Italy.

We are planning another trip next year to Europe again, and would like to bring say six boxes home to Australia with us, great wine.( 6 bottles /box)

Could we bring this amount,with Emirates,ex Rome again, and have a stay in Dubai for a week, then onto Australia.

Any information would be great.

Thanks bo777300
If you stop in Dxb you are only allowed 5 bottles of wine each.

If you transit you will be caught by the Oz rules of which I'm not familiar.

Seems like you should be shipping these given the amounts and paying the requisite duties to customs in oz? If you put them in the luggage hold specially packed they will also go through some potentially high temps (depending on when you travel) that aren't good for the wine.
