Wine

While we have included a number of links to internet sites, the big tip is to check out your local French supermarket. You will be faced with the dilemma of paying what you pay in the UK and find yourself able to buy a much better wine, or pay much less for the wine you usually drink!!

Remember also the Customs and Excise rules. See http://www.hmce.gov.uk/
