How to bring wines from Italy in your luggage?

Italy is one of the largest, best and most famous wine producers in the world, surpassing traditional France. Everything in Italy favors the production of award-winning and renowned wines: the soil, the location, the perfect climate and the huge variety of grapes; together, combined with the viticulture practices brought by the Greeks for thousands of years, the country produces numerous labels of the most varied types: smooth, dry, white, red, rose and excellent sparkling wines.

Introduction

Each region has a unique way of producing its wines and they are all very proud of their products. The regions that stand out the most are: Piedmont, Tuscany, Calabria, Abruzzo and Veneto, among many others and each of them, as we said before, have a unique style! Let’s learn more about Tuscan Enogastronomy?

We know that outside Italy, some Italian labels can be very expensive and this is all because of the heavy taxes applied on alcoholic beverages, especially imported ones. For this reason, many travellers travel to Italy only to buy wines and supply their cellars. Does it worth? Yes, it does! Wines purchased in Italy cost up to 1/3 the amount you would pay around the world! As sending alcoholic products to many countries is prohibited, the best solution is to buy abroad and bring it by plane.
