  • bringing alcohol drinks for personal use in UK

    For a foreigner travelling to the UK, can I bring 5 litres of Korean rice wine (alcohol content: 9%) for personal use (for myself and for friends' gifts)? The total number of bottles would be around 10 bottles, 375ml per bottle (half the wine size). I've read the following link but I'd like to make sure that this is confirmed by HMRC. I would appreciate if this quantity falls within the personal allowance limits for alcohol under 22%. https://www.gov.uk/bringing-goods-into-uk-personal-use/arriving-in-Great-Britain
