Wine Shops in Calais

Beer and Wine Shops

United Kingdom budget 2010 - Duty on beer, wine and spirits increased in March 2010. Alcohol duties will also increase by 2% above inflation for two further years from 2013. www.direct.gov.uk

According to our calculations this means that a bottle of wine now costing £10 will in 2014, after the last 2% increase cost 10.41% more in real terms or £11.04.

All shops are in Calais unless otherwise indicated.

What you can buy

NEW from 1st October 2011. TOBACCO guidelines for personal use - 800 cigarettes (was 3,200), 200 cigars, 400 cigarillos, 1 Kg smoking tobacco (was3 Kg).

ALCOHOL - 110 lts beer, 90 lts wine, 10 lts spirits, 20 lts fortified wine.

Surprisingly few people come to Calais with a good knowledge of wine and knowing what they want to buy - witness the numbers outside the booze warehouses against the specifically wine shops. However there are many good shops selling well chosen wine at a good price. We get the feeling that the wine shops are more likely to have tasted the wines they sell.

CREDIT CARDS - we suggest you ring your credit card company before shopping in France - increased fraud means they are turning down shoppers cards if their spending deviates from the norm. Take your mobile - you can often sort the problem out over the phone.
