Bringing back opened alcohol
Hello... When we move back to the UK, I know we can bring back 1 litre of alcohol each from Canada however can we bring back a open bottle if we seal it in a flask? I have looked this up but cannot find anything concrete. We would have this in checked baggage and therefore walk through customs with it? Any help would be great. Oh, in case you wonder, it is a very special scotch my hubby has

Are you bringing back a half empty bottle or do you plan to decant it into a flask to bring back?

Leave it in the bottle and just pack it.

Re: Bringing back opened alcohol
Hi, I have both brought and taken alcohol in my hold luggage that has either been unopened or has been opened and I have not had any problems..I just wrap the bottle(s) well and in a plastic bag and I also do not go over the alcohol messures for the country I am entering. Good luck
