How
Much Wine Can You Take Home from France?
The
following guidelines have been given to us by the Irish
Revenue commissioners.
No
additional duty or tax will be charged on goods
bought duty and tax paid (e.g. in shops, supermarkets
etc.) in another EU country, provided the goods
are for your personal use, that you have retained proof
of purchase and that you personally accompany the goods
on arrival.
Where
your purchases of the excisable products listed below
are equivalent to or less than the quantities shown in
the table they will, generally speaking, be regarded
