Alas my luggage is 1 wine bottle lighter! Foolish me for not checking the restriction... Never occurred to me of course when I have only flying through Doha before

Just FYI for anyone else in the future who happen to stopover in Qatar and are also thinking of bringing home alcohol.
I believe you could have surrendered it and collected it when you returned to the airport. But I'm not sure if you only get that option before you tried to "sneak" it through.
