How much wine can I bring back from France?

[BeQuickDenimViewer]

I have looked at the guidance online but still confused and have a feeling that the collective wisdom of Mumsnet may know the answer...

Travelling back from France at the weekend and wish to stock up on wine as much as post-Brexit rules allow. Gov.uk guidance says I can bring 24 bottles of still wine/12 bottles of sparkling.

But can I bring both - 36 bottles? Or is it 24 OR 12?!

Don't want to get into trouble with border control 🤔

Does anyone know for sure? Thanks!

18l still, 9l sparkling, so both.....

Gov.uk is best place to go (but first poster has it)

(Also if you go over you'd still have to get stopped but depends on your risk adverseness)

I get stopped every time (I go to the UK about three times a year). I've even been stopped by French customs police on the way to the port. Apparently single women travellers are suspicious.

We've not risked going over the limit but haven't been stopped although have had the kids in the car (and last time the bikes) which possibly makes us more effort

It's a good use of maths. Dividing by a fraction

You can bring back 18 litres of wine plus 9 litres of sparkling.

A bottle is 3/4 litre. So how many bottles is 18 litres?

18 / (3/4) - that is a lot of bottles. Hope you have a big enough car for that

Merci tout le monde!
