Purchasing a bottle of wine after security over 100 ml

Purchasing a bottle of wine after security over 100 ml - Young couple choosing food in grocery store

We are flying Ryanair to and from Barcelona. We wanted to bring a bottle of wine or any other liquor as a gift. We do understand that, having only the standard small bag, we can only bring a limit of 90ml, which should be enough for those small bottles. However, is it possible to buy a normal bottle after we pass security, in the airport, and bring it with us?

I am from Portugal if it helps!



Best Answer

This is no problem. Any liquids and gels you buy after passing through security, you can bring on board, and you can usually take a duty free shopping bag in addition to your other hand luggage.

While duty free spirits are usually sealed, you can also bring unsealed liquids (e.g. a bottle of water you bought at the airport for the flight), although most airline prohibit consumption of your own alcohol while on board.

Of course anything you bring is subject to customs (wether in hand luggage or checked in). This is not a problem within EU countries, but take care - Switzerland is "Europe", but not in the EU, and there are also regions with special customs rules (like the Canaries) - always check your customs allowance before passing through.
