Charlotte International Airport / CLT duty free shopping & champagne
Flying to PLS from CLT. I prefer to BYOB and my wife loves rosé champagne. Anyone pass through CLT recently and can share the duty free selection?

Why not trying to find one locally?
Duty-free is a practical myth. Yes - you can save the sales tax. But your cost gets jack up for apparent no reason with the same duty restriction whether you buy it from duty-free or not.

Or, they could like to pop warm duty free Champagne on board a flight, which is just an absolutely savage move.

Love the Billecart... that and the Ruinart as well... I havent usually seen either at Duty Free.. I'll probably pack out a bottle or two in our luggage...
Veuve Rose is OK... I'm not a fan of the Moet Rose at all..
BYOB to the resort..
Just a matter of convenience.. we are actually transfering directly to another small island, so looking locally will be difficult...
I mean I would get a glass of ice...
Unfort yes I saw that....
Hopefully someone will be eyes on at some points, but if not I'm sure I'll see the greatest hits....

Not a fan of any Moet for me...
And agreed on the Veuve NV although the vintage (2008?) is very good, you may be more likely to find that than the Ruinart or Billecart (of course at JFK/LHR/etc. you'll find all of that and more, just not sure about CLT!)
