A secondary check at boarding? What about the other 100 pax that had bought duty free, airside, how do they know where it came from? .

Very easily; it is,iirc, in a sealed bag from the DF shop

Bottles purchased in DF shops are in a sealed bag arnt they which these wouldnt have been?
Dave

I haven't had them sealed in Aus

I am confused about the office; mayhaps in the debate, they moved to an office

Dave

I agree, but believe this is why the screening was at security after emmigration

Goods purchased in the international departures after emmigration/x-ray/WTMD at most Oz Airport Duty free stores, including MEL, are simply placed in standard carry bags - these are not sealed.

The 1980 vintage Grange is available for AU$315.

The 1982 vintage is available for AU$380.

Even though it was a shame that these two bottles were wasted, the passenger was a bit of a twit (for reasons already posted here), and the value of his wine was far below the $3000 quoted by that bastion of fine journalism, the Daily Telegraph.

Frequently Asked Questions

27. If I forget to pack my liquids, aerosols and gels in my hold luggage, will I get another chance?

Once you have arrived at the screening point all liquids, aerosols and gels that are not in containers 100 millilitres/grams or less, and packed comfortably in a single, sealed, transparent, resealable plastic bag with a volume no greater than one litre will need to be surrendered. If your liquids, aerosols and gels are in containers of 100 millilitres/grams or less, and you have access to an appropriate bag, you will be able to pack them before proceeding through the screening point. Some screening points may have bags available for you to use, however you should not rely on bags being available.
