in October of 2005 we brought back 21 bottles of Italian wine stashed among 3 checked bags and 2 carry ons. I felt like a bootlegger. We were travelling in F on Air France so I think we were allowed extra weight (although we did have to shuffle things around for the VCE-CDG leg of the trip so that non of the individual bags were over the weight limit.)

Had a bottle of 2000 Brunello on Valentines day so that leaves only about 2 bottles left from the stash. We're going to Australia and New Zealand in April and hope to replenish the inventory. Ha!
