buying wine in airport

can I get excellent wine for a good price in the duty free shop in cd airport. I am connecting to stockholm to go on a cruise or should i just bring it all the away from california? do you know if stockholm has any great wines?

Its ok in CDG mostly top end stuff , whatever you do buy it before Sweden, its one of the most expensive places on earth to buy alcohol.

They have everything from inexpensive Beaujolais wines to really good stuff. Not being a wine snob I bought the Beaujolais because the bottles were cute. It tasted good to me. They also sell all of the other alcholic everages you need at the duty free store. There is a limit (I think 3 bottles per person)so you each buy three. If you need more find a friend.

The choice and quality of wine at the different CDG shop are good, even if, at the end of the day, you%26#39;ll pay say 10 % more than in town. But even this will be 100 % less than in Sweden! Scandinavian countries levy high taxes on alcohol, and especially imported one such as wines. So, yes, do stock up at CDG, because after you%26#39;ll feel like you are in Kabul!

So what kind of stores sell bottles of wine at CDG?

Are these stores in Terminal 2?

Is there a decent selection or just a couple of %26#39;brands%26#39;?

Well, last time I used them was last year en route to Brazil, where the poor friend of mine was missing his rosé in Rio (things are harsh for expats sometimes! ). On the left hand side in the duty free zone in 2C, there is a sizeable %26quot;liquor store%26quot; with a selection akin to a small Nicolas, so nothing ridiculous, as you can see. But in general half of duty free stores are alcohol focused, and a good proportion of the alcohol section in CDG is, understandably, devoted to wines.

Alright then... might while away a few minutes looking into this on our departure in May. Would have to leave some room in the ole carryon. Thanks.

On my last visit to Stockholm, I found that not only were prices very high, but the state-run liquor stores in Sweden are open rather limited hours. I found myself wishing that I had purchased at Duty-free at the airport...
