About Champagne
Champagne and sparkling wines are carbonated wines, often associated with celebrations. Travel regulations are similar to regular wine, typically allowing 1-2 bottles duty-free. The pressurized bottles require extra careful packaging to prevent explosion or leakage due to cabin pressure changes during flight.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring Champagne purchased at duty-free on the plane?
Champagne purchased at airport duty-free and sealed in a Secure Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) can usually be brought on board, even if it exceeds the 100ml limit. However, keep the receipt and ensure the bag remains sealed until you reach your final destination.
What should I consider when bringing Champagne?
The most important thing when bringing Champagne is to confirm if it exceeds the duty-free allowance or declaration threshold of your destination. It's recommended to keep purchase receipts and ensure Champagne is in its original packaging for easier customs inspection. If the Champagne is of high value, always use the red declaration channel.
